Outdated? Well, most of the industri is outdated. When I was a kid in the 60's and 70's then when we saw science fiction about year 2000, then we all walk around in silver-clothes, we have robots, to wash our cars, make our dinner, cleaning the house, and some special robots to take care of our sexlife.

In reallity, all we got is a robot vacuum cleaner, that is not very good at cleaning, and it hurts if it has to take care of my sexlife

.

Other than that, I hate that I have the green squares in the bootscreen instead of the new "orb", that nobody seems to be able to solve, and I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

I might be odd, but I don't like, that Outlook Express don't come along Windows 7. Windows live mail, is a big slow program compared to it. WLM can do a lot more tahn OE, but I don't need that! I want my OE back.

Check your inbox m8, have sent you the solution.. not sure if posting the link on the forum was allowed..

What don't you like about Windows 7?

The default 'girly-girl' desktop in RTM.

Improper 'octal' display in Calc.

Other than that, not bad, not bad......

If this is the solution to the green squares you have sendt Burgurne, may I also recieve "something" in my inbox, please?

Like Burgurne, I also really hate this green square bootscreen, especially since you guys told me, that it is because I have a crappy PC.

I miss OE very much!

I would love to be able to switch place and look of the "start-orb" (START-button in XP) on the taskbar in different themes and/or colorchanges.

I don't like, that it is so hard (or me being stupid) to disable all prefetch and superprefetch as I have a SSD as system-drive.

Is it you or the vacuum cleaner that's get hurt?

I'm so annoyed by the pin issue that I'm thinking about using objectdock instead of the superbar =(

Call me old fashioned but i do miss the classic control panel. I'm sure it's just a case of 're-learning' where everything is exactly, but that really does grind my gears lol.

Oh and the occasional BSOD of course; but that's just standard

UAC needs a permit list. "Always Allow" Some hacker should be able to figure this out.

1 major disappointment for me is the lack of "classic mode" within the Control Panel. That new system is a PITA to find anything. I have to use the darn search thing all the time just to find simple things...and I'd rather not find it that way. It's really my only significant complaint.

I can relate to this one. Had the same issue finding stuff and it drove me nuts! (not a long drive tho

)

Anyway, pparks1...click on 'details' (I think) in the upper, right corner. This will bring up ALL the typical Control Panel icons instead of that "helpful" grouping that shows by default.

I don't like how thick the new tool bar is. I ended up doing this to make it more like Vista/XP'ish though:

I miss the mini bar mode and "search in library" from WMP...
I love the thickness of the taskbar... but I do agree that the older one was more stylish.
