Explanation

Starting with Windows Vista and continuing in Windows 7, Microsoft renamed and redesigned the printer management interface to 'Devices and Printers.' This applet provides a unified view of all connected devices - printers, mice, keyboards, phones, etc. - in one location. Contrast this with Windows XP's 'Printers and Faxes.' The order of words matters on the exam: in Win 7, it is 'Devices' first, then 'Printers.'
