Has a Windows 7 update removed good features?
I installed Windows 7 and have been generally impressed and pleased with the changes. I don't know about the technical aspects, so such things as the ability to 'snap' windows into certain sizes and the new task bar previews are the main focus of such positive comments.
HOWEVER...
Unless I have unwittingly changed some settings, a recent update has changed several things which I do not like (and would like to change back!!!).
1. When several windows were running under one programme, eg several internet explorer windows were open, you could see a small preview of all windows by moving the cursor onto the programme icon in the task bar; this has now changed to just a literal description of what it is preceeded by an icon corresponding to the relevant website/programme. This is terrible! The whole point of the preview is because it's usually unclear what you've got open, and now some are all but indestinguishable!
2. When you 'snap' a window it used to show a transparent preview of how the window would be resized; it's now a distinctly uncool blue haze.
Any help would be great. I hope to God these aren't permanent updates as they are definitely two (or more!) steps backwards.
Cheers!
