Windows 7 does not come with the legacy Hyper Terminal application. If you spend any time configuring or trouble-shooting Cisco routers, (among many other things you might use a serial port for, assuming you still have one), then this is a modest inconvenience. Solution: one of the best tools of all time, our friend putty.
Honestly I've used this tool for over a decade and never notice the Serial option. Probably because I never needed it because I had Hyper Terminal. Why was I wasting my time, putty is so much better.
