Win7 stability, speed, reliability all degrading noticeably fast?
Is this a worldwide problem I'm wondering?
I've got about 8 different Win7 boxes (some laptops, a few desktops, and some media machines). The frequency of "inexplicable weird things" and other aggravations has been increasing over time, and just the last few months I've found myself having done at least 4 complete re-installs, and despite this - all 8 of my boxes are suffering various different problems.
I am basically loosing WEEKS of work time dealing with pointless fixes to what I thought would have, by now, been a stable operating system.
Some (and by no means is this a comprehensive list) of the recent issues I'm facing are BSOD problems on 2 different boxes ("Driver state power failure"), various (but not all) internet programs failling to connect from one laptop, *extreme* slowness one another latop and two media center desktops, an inexplicably "corrupted" registry occurence, and other weird but similar things.
Most of my machines are new brand-name (HP mostly) boxes, with a couple of other ones thrown in. They all work fine using "live boot" linux distro DVDs, and I have no problems with my one other box that's not Windows (a Mac).
Do I just happen to have the worlds worst Win7 luck, or is this a growing problem with Windows 7 worldwide in general???
