Added undocumented feature "GodMode"
Windows 7 includes many new features, such as support for touch screen interfaces<ref name="cnet">http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/22/windows.seven/index.html</ref> which lets users draw on the computer screen like a piece of paper<ref>http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/tabletpc/russel_03january20.mspx</ref>. Unlike in previous operating systems, Microsoft decided on many of these new features in conjunction with major computer manufacturers<ref name="cnet" />. Microsoft also redesigned the user interface in many applications, including Paint and Wordpad, which now sport the ribbon interface that Microsoft first introduced in several Office 2007 applications.

== Undocumented Features ==
Software developers are given a shortcut to various internal settings. Dubbed "GodMode" by bloggers; it was not something Microsoft used internally to refer to the undocumented settings folders. Apparently, it has been included since Windows Vista but never discussed by Microsoft until bloggers stumbled upon it. <ref>[http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10426627-56.html Windows 7 has lots of 'GodModes' (exclusive), CNET.com, January 6, 2010]</ref>
