Microsoft on Thursday listed 36 improvements in the upcoming Windows 7 release. The release candidate (RC) will include the latest round of enhancements. Although Microsoft didn't indicate when the RC might be available, observers think the final version of Windows 7 will launch later this year.Microsoft said it made many revisions -- bug fixes, compatibility fixes, and performance improvements -- that it did not list in its extended blog post on the changes. However, the company did outline some changes three of the Windows 7 feature teams made: Core User Experience, Find & Organize, and Devices & Media.
