Windows 7: Very aggravating net config in win7 / vista

I am a network engineer

I move from location to location several times a day and have to change my network address and settings as many as 20 times in the course of a normal work day

I have been using MS OS since DOS 1.2 and know what i'm doing.

I use MS OS because all the lemmings use it and i need to have practical experience with it.

I was hoping it would change in 7, but i've just installed the RTM version and alas no reprieve:

since vista, the amount of time i spend changing from network to network is REDICULOUS!

• clicky pointy clicky pointy clicky pointy TYPE IP, MASK, GATEWAY, DNS
• wait (minutes) for @#*@(&#(*&@(*# identifying network wizard to run
• clicky pointy clicky pointy SET NETWORK AS PRIVATE
• wait for private settings to take effect
• finally i can get back to work -

unless ...

when changing networks as frequently as i do, the network identification frequently fails in a variety of ways

• - set private, click ok, clicks accepted, but network still set at public
• - set again, sometimes okay - but often a reboot is required GARBAGE!!!
• - cannot set as private, greyed out
• - etc, etc

THIS IS A GIGANTIC TIME WASTER and I BILL ONLY FOR MY TIME - this is tantamount to a novice user tax on the skilled

MS - good work for the unskilled/uninformed users
MS - GIVE THE IT COMMUNITY the ability to turn it off so we can JUST GET TO WORK. I want xp like experience - set ip, select OK, just get to work!!!
