What don't you like about Windows 7?

You should break that habit. This is not Windows XP and memory is not managed the same way. Windows 7 knows how to manage memory, leave it alone.

I guess you are right, even when using demanding apliccations I'm never run out of memory, and 7 still has the same speed as I have just boot up the PC... With XP I needed the memory tweker that came with Tune Up Utilities XD...

Aero Basic....if your computer can handle Aero you should not be using Aero Basic at all. Aero Basic is CPU only it get zero GPU acceleration while most of Aero is done on the GPU.

Well... I had to use it on my notebook (6 cell battery Acer Aspire 4535) in certain sutuations in which I was using the battery, but, since Aero takes more power (I don't know why...) I switch to basic, I get more time on the battery, so I can do some stuff that requires a bit of time, but the acceleration in some animations in windows gets odd... that's the only reason why I use Basic, in my Desktop I have Aero all the time and I love it XD.

Don't bother doing this. It does absolutely nothing. And never has. Its like telling a car it has four wheels. Changing this setting does not help your boot time. Windows is smart enough to cache everything from the previous boot and that is how you get a shorter boot time.

This is only used for TESTING and has nothing to do with performance. Leave the settings set to default. There are Threads on this here at SevenForums if you wish to read more on it. I don't have the link handy but can be searched.

XD I was fooled then... I guess that the start time decrease is due to SuperFetch doing its job then... I'll search for that info here, I still need more to learn

Bottom line - Windows 7 handles memory very well. This is not XP or even Vista. There is nothing you can do and no third party software that can improve Win 7's memory management. At best, these efforts will do nothing; at worst, they will actually slow your system down. Forget everything you learned about memory and the registry in XP. It does not apply to Win 7.

You're right too, I need to leave that bad habit (sometimes hard taking in mind that I used XP for about 3 years XD)

See ya!!

Main disadvantages include but not limited to:

1. User Account Control

2. New GUI

3. System gets hang after installation

4. Have specific theme. if user wish to have a specific theme of his country, he will not get that, hence not satisfied the feature

Works great for me and I'm lovin' it. Probably there's nothing I would like to change about it

Dissapearing thumbnails in Corel X3. Never happened in XP. I know it's a Corel problem, but still it is a pain.

My games don't work anymore

I wish Microsoft would build a documents menu function into the task bar icons. Let's say I have a bunch of shortcuts to (e.g.) my games. I would like a quick single click way of opening up a menu of those shortcuts (rather than going through the start menu, which takes longer). Nope. Can't do. So I use this handy little utility called 7stacks to do it. Which works fine but is buggy on occasion (like inexplicably suddenly deciding not to work). It would be nice to have folders in the task bar able to open up a menu of its contents (including sub-menus for sub-folders or shortcuts to folders).
