I hate the new task bar. There I said it! I like the new features they have given it but I hate the flat look to it. Vista is more appealing to my eyes.
What don't you like about Windows 7?

There is one consistent bug that bugs the hell out of me, after several dozen beta/RC/RTM installs. The Internet Explorer 8 windows stopped holding their size somewhere around 4800 and now no amount of training or previous fixes will make them open full or custom size.
I finally gave up and use Autosizer long enough to get them to hold, which I resent since I think this is the greatest invention since the computer except for this one irritating bug.

In dual screen systems you can also swap window to the other display using these shortcuts:
- If glued to the left in the right display, winkey+left glues window to the right in the left display
- If glued to the right on the left display, winkey+right glues window to the left in the right display
In dual screen systems these shortcuts are also the only way to glue the window to the left in the right display or to the right in the left display. Moving the window with mouse in these cases just moves the window over to the other display.
Confusing? Not really, works fine.

Hi SquonkSC
Yep, main reason was performance. But I do have to say that w7 performance is better than my previous Vista testing. I've gone through most of the tweaking: black viper service configs, visual effects etc. I have managed to improve disk performance since my initial post. Had w7 installed on PATA (WEI [HDD] = 4.3) back then, with data all on SATA. But now swapped the config around and installing w7 on SATA (WEI [HDD] = 5.7). It does feel slightly zippier which is good.
Well, I guess it comes down to how you work. For me, temporal arrangement is slightly advantageous as you don't have to search the taskbar for your most recently instantiated app - it's right there at the end of the list. With 20+ windows/apps open, I end up having to do more taskbar searching under w7. But yeah, grouping also has its advantages. It can go either way :)I really don't understand how this is a minus?Win7 has it spread out like this: WE1 | WE2 | FF1. XP, however, would arrange it in order of temporal execution: WE1 | FF1 | WE2. Hence W7 groups items, even when spread out.
I would think it is an improvement over XP, it makes oversight much more logical.
It was actually one of the XP quircks that thousands of users have asked MS to fix.
I absolutely agree with this. I guess one of the reasons for not easily adapting to w7 was that I never jumped on the Vista bandwagon. My MS OS history has been win95->win2k->xp. So going from xp->w7 is a bit of a leap. Yep - it all comes with timeThe only thing left for us to do, is to get used to it,
and give it a fair chance, like we had to to do with XP.
With every OS we had to adapt to the new features, as with every new car we buy.
XP needed hundreds of updates, fixes and 3 SP's to become what it is today.
I assure you this won't be the case for W7.
Cheers.

WIN 7 Dislikes.....
Sorry I have lost the plot with this forum...
Reason. if you make a comment against WIN7 you get blasted and to if you DONT like it stiff luck revert to XP or older....
I use XP, Vista both 32bit and 64bit and have done so for 6-3 years.
I OBJECT to MS removing the "CLASSIC" features...
Users were able to enable them in VISTA (which I do) when ever I install the O/S.
NOW I cant, and If I MS want to give us another changed / crippled O/S then it is their LOSS. It would seem that around 60% of users want this option, CAN MS afford to loose 60% or even 30% of it clients, and DONT give me the answer times and O/S move on learn it.
I and my company and Clients (115) cannot afford spend money on upgrade or the COST of the new WIN7 also training ???.
The world is in a recession and SMB's/People do NOT have the money GET REAL
