Optimized 7 provides a new look and feel of windows with latest wallpapers, icon packs, windows sound, log on/log off screen and start menu orb, in short its completely personalized. Optimized 7 is developed over the scratch of Windows 7 Ultimate as it is the most versatile and powerful edition at present time, and a lot of unwanted components(see x.x) have been removed and left over has been tweaked(see x.y) and customized to fasten the installation, and reduce the weight over the processor and RAM which results in faster processing, quicker copying of files to external HDDs (pendrives), and faster response time.

Auto installable device drivers

A device driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device, different hardware require a different set of drivers, searching and installing drivers or handling a set of driver DVDs take a lot of time , whereas Optimized 7 can automatically scan any PC/Laptop for required drivers and can install them in 3-5mins(approx). Manual process of installing drivers:

Place the driver disks to DVD-Rom and install all required drivers manually one by one. Unluckily if you dont have the drivers, you need to consume time in searching them before you could download. Automatic process of installing drivers by Optimized 7:

Browse the Optimized 7 DVD and double click O7 driver pack and click Install all to install all required drivers.

Software installation
The most important aspect of operating system are the softwares that drive them , the windows itself is only a base , we are more interested in enhancing the operating system with the required softwares. The usual process of installing software requires many numbers of clicks and high-level user interaction. Ex. VLC Media Player

An average user uses 30-35 software, which means he/she requires 30X10 = 300 clicks (approx) to load up required softwares. Automatic Software installation in Optimized 7

Advertising Via. Optimized 7

Advertising has become an indispensable function in modern business due to cut-throat competition and mass production. It pervades our economic and social life. Small/Big Organizations, Institutes, businesses, Retailers as well as shopkeepers need advertisement. We understand the requirement of Optimized 7 in day to day life and also understand the power of advertisements, merging these two ideas develops a new era of advertisement. How are we going to Advertise? We can customize an operating system completely dedicating it to a particular organization, such as Optimized 7: LPU Edition. The wallpaper, icon packs, sounds; music/video/ documents/picture samples will be premodified according to LPU. Not only this, the operating system contains a small gadget (on the right-hand side of desktop) which shows up the advertisements which cannot be removed, and advertisements can be handled/changed over the internet. No doubt, Un-attended disk like Optimized 7 would be downloaded by a huge number of people even if we apply infinite number of copy restrictions, but a slight change in the point of view can change the definition of piracy, because in our case, the more number of users, means the more number of viewers, and more number of users certainly makes up the brand value.
