[6] Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system includes a significantly improved version of Magnifier.

However, the full screen feature has also been criticized due to its incompatibility with the high contrast color schemes found in the Windows 7 beta release.

Some third party magnification software compensates for this effect by applying scaling filters to the enlarged image.

Lens mode is improved, however, as now the magnifying window will follow the cursor around the screen rather than remain in a fixed position.

Finally the magnifier is much easier to access by using the Windows key and +/- to control the zoom level without the need to start the application first.
