Windows 7's unexpected 'killer' feature
PC World | at | by Mike
Everyone loves a killer feature: that must-have capability or technology that prompts you to plunk down your hard-earned cash in an effort to upgrade your computing experience.
In the case of Windows, there have been precious few versions that included a truly killer feature. Windows 3.1 was a killer version because it allowed PCs to finally break the dreaded 640K barrier. Windows NT was a killer version because it introduced the concepts of client/server security and true, hardware-based memory protection to the environment.
