在微软不久前发布的 Windows 7: Pre-release privacy statement 隐私策略中列举了一些非常有趣的 Windows 7 M3 Pre-Beta 的新功能。以下就是“privacy supplement“中列出的新功能（其中有一部分我已经在 Windows 7 Pre-beta Build 中有些什么新功能中介绍了）：
BitLocker™ Drive Encryption
BitLocker Drive Encryption (BitLocker) is available on computers running Windows 7 Enterprise Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. Should your computer be lost or stolen, BitLocker protects your data by helping to prevent offline software attacks. Turning on BitLocker encrypts the hard drive where Windows is installed, including all information that is stored on that drive.
Windows 7 将采用 Windows Vista 相同的版本？
Device Information Retrieval
What this feature does
Device Information Retrieval downloads information from Microsoft for your hardware devices and displays it in the Windows 7 Devices and Printers control panel, and when you first install and use a device, in the Device Stage.
Choice and control
If you choose the recommended settings during Windows 7 setup, you turn on Device Information Retrieval. You can turn this feature off by going to Devices and Printers in Control Panel. Right-click your computer icon, and then click Device Installation Settings. Select “No, let me choose what to do” and click to clear the “Display enhanced device icons…” check box.
设备的信息会从微软站点中下载，并显示在 Windows 7 设备和打印机控制面板，以及 Device Stage 中。
Driver Protection
Driver Protection helps prevent the operating system from starting drivers that are known to cause stability problems. These drivers are listed in a Driver Protection List database that is stored on your computer. The Driver Protection List is updated through Windows Update and Dynamic Update (below). Driver Protection checks this database while the operating system is running. These checks are performed to determine whether to start a driver. For more information, see the Driver Protection List article online at the Microsoft website.
驱动保护机制将阻止导致系统不稳定驱动的执行。
Dynamic Update
Dynamic Update enables Windows 7 to perform a one-time check with the Windows Update website to get the latest updates for your computer while Windows is being installed. If updates are found, Dynamic Update automatically downloads and installs them so your computer is up to date the first time that you log on or use it.
在安装 Windows 的同时检查 Windows Update 更新，如果发现更新，就自动安装。
Gadgets
Gadgets are programs that run on the desktop and provide at-a-glance information, and easy access to frequently used tools.
从原本 Sidebar 拓展至了整个桌面 Desktop。
Games Folder
You can also choose to check for updates to some games by right-clicking the game icon and selecting Scan for Update. Game version details and game identification numbers will be sent to Microsoft, and you will be notified of any updates that are available. You may choose to have Windows automatically scan and notify you about game updates from the options menu.
Windows 7 将增加游戏更新提醒的功能。
HomeGroup
A HomeGroup allows you to easily link Windows 7 computers on your home network so that you can share pictures, music, videos, documents and devices. It also makes them ready to stream media to devices on your home network such as a media extender. You can help protect your HomeGroup with a password, and you can choose what you want to share.
家庭组功能，能够更轻松地将 Windows 7 电脑连接起来，从而进行照片，音乐，文档及设备的共享，以及流媒体服务支持。
更多关于 Windows 7 的信息会在接下来的 PDC08 中介绍，我也不会放过任何有价值的信息，当然也欢迎在本文留言中推荐内容。 😛
