Windows 7—The Best of All Worlds?
To appreciate the power of Windows 7 networks, you need to understand how earlier versions of Windows handled networking. Whereas Windows 2000 only supported classic network shares with NTFS, Windows XP introduced Simple File Sharing. Windows Vista expanded this with robust IPv6, network discovery, and network location features. Windows 7 merely adds the concept of homegroups while still fully supporting both Vista’s File Sharing Wizard and even full-blown, old school NTFS sharing.
