I guess this will be the favorite feature of some European bureaucrats. For example, if you disable the Windows Firwall the Action Center will display a link to third parties' desktop firewall products. What I find interesting is that the Action Center contains links to third parties' products. The messages in the Action Center are not only about Windows functions, but can also include information about third party extensions. Windows Troubleshooting detected this problem correctly, but the Troubleshooting section in the Action Center just said "No action needed." Perhaps the final release of Windows 7 will be smarter here. For instance, the DNS server on my test machine was not correctly configured. I think the idea of having a central place for all maintenance related information is great however, this Maintenance Center includes only sparse information. The Maintenance section displays if Solutions and Reports is enabled, and has information about the status of Windows Backup, Windows Update and Troubleshooting. The Security section displays information about the virus protection, the Firewall, Windows Update, Spyware, Internet Security Settings, User Account Control, and Network Access Protection (NAP). There are two sections: Security and Maintenance. You can find it in the Control Panel under System and Security (formerly System and Maintenance).
This method will enable you to access the Control Panel's applets via the Start Search prompt much faster than you otherwise could.Īnyway, let's have a look at the Action Center. My advice is not to use the Control Panel, but to memorize the applets' names instead. It is like learning two similar programming languages at the same time you will constantly be mixing up the syntax. In particular, administrators who change machines constantly will have difficulties. Vista and Windows 7 have such similar user interfaces that it will be difficult to learn the new locations. From a psychological point of view, however, the changes in the Control Panel were not a good idea. I have no problems with changes if they are an improvement.
