Even though Windows 7 has just been born, it’s not a secret that Microsoft is already working on its successor, let’s call it Windows 8 for the time being.

• - thanks to a new API, hibernate/resume will be even more faster than today
• - better multimonitor support ( rumors about three or more monitors are spreading… )
• - changes in network security, authentication and encryption are very probable
