'''Windows 7''' is an operating system developed by [[Microsoft]], and was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009. It is the client counterpart of [[Windows Server 2008 R2]]. Support of Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020.


'''Cai Wenji''' ({{zh|c=蔡文姬|p=Cài Wénjī}}; born  177), also known as '''Cai Yan''', was a [[Han Dynasty]] poet and composer. She was the daughter of [[Cai Yong]], also a musician. Her [[courtesy name]] was originally Zhaoji, but it was changed to Wenji during the [[Jin Dynasty (265-420)|Jin Dynasty]] to avoid a [[naming taboo|naming conflict]] with [[Sima Zhao]].  
A pre-RTM build, [[Windows 7/6.1.7600.16384.win7 rtm.090710-1945|7600.16384]], was speculated to be the final version of the product, but had a flaw in [[Internet Explorer 8]] which prevented it from shipping.


She spent part of her life as a prisoner of the [[Xiongnu]] tribe, until [[Cao Cao]] paid a heavy sum to redeem her in 207.
New features in Windows 7 include mouse gestures for window management, an updated taskbar (Superbar), and other interface improvements.


==Life==
== New features ==
Cai Wenji was born shortly before 178 in Yu Prefecture (圉縣), Chenliu Commandery (陳留), in what is now [[Qi County, Kaifeng]], [[Henan]]. Cai Wenji was married at the age of fifteen to a Wei Zhongdao (衛仲道) in 192, who died shortly after without any offspring<ref>Hans H. Frankel Cai Yan and the Poems Attributed to Her Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews, Vol. 5, No. 1/2 (Jul., 1983), pp. 133-156</ref>. In 195, the chaos after [[Chancellor of China|Chancellor]] [[Dong Zhuo]]'s death brought [[Xiongnu]] [[nomads]] into the Chinese capital and Cai Wenji was taken as prisoner to the northerlands. During her captivity, she became the wife of the Xiongnu chieftain [[Liu Bao]] (the "[[Worthy Prince|Wise King of the Left]]") <ref>The 5th. Dimension: Doorways to the Universe by Aona (2004) p.249</ref>, and bore him two sons. It was not until twelve years later that [[Cao Cao]], the new [[Chancellor of China|Chancellor of Han]], ransomed her in the name of her father. When Cai Wenji returned to her homeland, she left her children behind at the frontier.
Windows 7 was not that of a major upgrade from Windows Vista as Windows Vista was from Windows XP but it nonetheless did introduce some new and updated features.
# Aero was improved from Windows Vista , now supporting full translucency in full screen mode of the program. Features like Aero Snap were also introduced.
# DirectX 11 was introduced.
# Windows Experience Index was improved, and now the maximum score obtainable is 7.9 (5.9 from [[Windows Vista]]).
# Multi-touch support introduced.
# Internet Explorer 8 introduced.
# Windows Media Player 12 introduced, using Windows 7 specific features like Jump Lists.
# The Windows taskbar and start menu was improved, introducing features like pinning on the taskbar and Jump Lists on the Start Menu. Show desktop has been implemented for the fist time since [[Windows 98|Memphis]] and [[Windows 2000|NT 5.0]] builds.
# The ability to warn the user about a bad battery was introduced.
# Support for SSD functions like TRIM was also introduced.
# Support for creating a homegroup was added, an implementation of [[Network Computer Sharing]] dropped in [[Windows Vista]].
# Improvements to libraries and virtual folders.


She married again, this time to a government official named Dong Si (董祀). However, Dong Si committed a crime sentencable to death, and Cai Wenji went to Cao Cao to plea for her husband's acquittal. At the time, Cao Cao was having a banquet to entertain guests, who were stirred by Cai Wenji's distressed appearance and behaviour. Touched by such an emotional plea, Cao Cao pardoned Dong Si.
== Removed or degraded features ==
# The classic start menu can no longer be selected.
# System requirements were increased to 1 GHz (Windows Vista: 800 MHz, Windows XP: 233 MHz) and 1 GB RAM (Windows Vista: 512 MB, Windows XP: 64 MB).
# Windows Ultimate Extras were removed, and games such as InkBall were gone as well. However, the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 still included Windows Media Center, which was removed in all [[Windows 8]] SKUs and had to be installed seperately.
# Explorer dropped a lot of the classic features present in [[Windows XP|XP]] and [[Windows Vista|Vista]].


Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong was an established writer, but his works were lost in the ravages of war. At Cao Cao's request, Cai Wenji was able to recite from memory up to four hundred out of four thousand of her father's lost works.
== Builds ==
Later in her life, she wrote two poems describing her turbulent years. Her year of death is unknown.

==Poetry==
=== Milestone 1 ===
Cai Wenji, like her father, was an established calligrapher of her time, and her works were often praised along with her father's. Her poems were noted for their sorrowful tone, parallel to her hard life. The famous [[guqin]] piece ''[[Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute]]'' is traditionally attributed to her, although the authorship is a perennial issue for scholarly debate. The other two poems, both named "Poem of Sorrow and Anger" (悲憤詩), were known to be by her own hand.

==Legacy==
=== Pre-Beta ===
The stories of Cai Wenji reverberates primarily with the feeling of sorrow, and inspires later artists to keep portraying her past. Her return was the subject of the painting ''Cai Wenji Returns to Her Homeland'' (文姬歸漢圖) by [[Zhang Yu]], which is now stored in the [[Long Corridor]] in the [[Old Summer Palace]]. Modern Chinese writer [[Guo Moruo]] wrote a play on her life, and there also exists a [[Beijing opera]] rendition. Also, a crater on [[Venus]] was named Cai Wenji, after her name.

Windows 7 is an operating system developed by Microsoft, and was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009. It is the client counterpart of Windows Server 2008 R2. Support of Windows 7 ended on January 14, 2020.

New features in Windows 7 include mouse gestures for window management, an updated taskbar (Superbar), and other interface improvements.

New features

Windows 7 was not that of a major upgrade from Windows Vista as Windows Vista was from Windows XP but it nonetheless did introduce some new and updated features.

  1. Aero was improved from Windows Vista , now supporting full translucency in full screen mode of the program. Features like Aero Snap were also introduced.
  2. DirectX 11 was introduced.
  3. Windows Experience Index was improved, and now the maximum score obtainable is 7.9 (5.9 from Windows Vista).
  4. Multi-touch support introduced.
  5. Internet Explorer 8 introduced.
  6. Windows Media Player 12 introduced, using Windows 7 specific features like Jump Lists.
  7. The Windows taskbar and start menu was improved, introducing features like pinning on the taskbar and Jump Lists on the Start Menu. Show desktop has been implemented for the fist time since Memphis and NT 5.0 builds.
  8. The ability to warn the user about a bad battery was introduced.
  9. Support for SSD functions like TRIM was also introduced.
  10. Support for creating a homegroup was added, an implementation of Network Computer Sharing dropped in Windows Vista.
