Repeating again. There are many who NEVER had a problem with Vista. My experice was different. Finding other people were experiencing the exact problems I had, was little comfort.I'm one of the few that used a "virgin XP", as you so eloquently put it, so yes, I do remember the instabilities of the initial release, and the pretty steep learning curve moving from Windows ME to Windows XP. In general, XP was newer really any good, even now after 3 service packs.
Vista was the one OS release from Microsoft where I could state the they finally got it right. I also used a "virgin Vista", and quite frankly my blood pressure cannot deal with people claiming that Vista is a dog, or is unstable, or doesn't work. Ad Ininitum... I never could understand what the hell people where complaining about.
Yes, Vista had it's problems. Just Like XP did. Just like Windows 2000 did. Does anyone remember the disaster that was the initial release of Windows 98? I can almost give a written guarantee that when Windows 7 hits the mainstream on October 22, we'll not have to wait very long to start fielding posts from people complaing about how bad or unusable Windows 7 is. But then again, I think posts of that nature have already started.
Those who are now complaining about the learning curve moving from XP to Windows 7 are likely also those who incorrectly believed the bad rep of Vista and stuck it out with XP. Oh, well, I guess not everyone can get what they want, and we'll have to just do the best we can to help them, right?
OVerall, there is not a lot to dislike about Windows 7, and it will indeed take time to get used to the new UI for those who skipped Vista.
I just have one general question: If people want the ability in Windows 7 to turn on the "classic look" of perhaps XP or Windows 2000, then why the hell upgrade to Windows 7 in the first place? Isn't the point of using a new OS to learn new ways and improve efficiency?
Oops. Thats two questions. My Bad.
Even as I was going through misery, others were telling me they had no problems with Vista or BSODs I am glad you are one of the many fortunate that never had a problem.
At first, I was upset about the learning curve for 7. Then I understood why, and figured out, the only person who could solve it is me. The only thing I ask for now, is a little patience while I ask "Stupid" questions, or profess my ignorance in other ways.
Change is hard.
All change isn't for the better. We need to be able to do what we once did, Even if the way we do it is different. Getting used to "different" is harder for some than others.
We all get used to working a certain way, using familiar tools. When they are taken away, or changed themselves, it's human nature to covet the familiar and want them back. Very few want to go backward. When we go through changes, having a few familiar things makes the change easier. When that fails; we accept and move on.
ME? Good lord! no wonder. Vistas a dream compared to that!

win 7 bad points
Why do MS insist on giving us "New" OS why dont they just make the old one better
What is "better" in the OS world
- Make them smaller, Smaller means faster, less bugs, less back doors
- Chuck out the junk, the 'bloatware' that was just coded to improve someones pay-packet (believe me it is there)
- Make it neater
- Im sick of having to have a anti virus package attached to my computer, SORT IT OUT

[quote=cbleman;306150]What's the point of a post starting with, "repeating again"?Repeating again.
You can only be repped for it once.

I'm noticing a bit more complexity with networking, sharing printers...etc. Once you figure it all out though its not that big of a deal.

To get this back OT:
MY biggest dislike w/ W7 [and this may have existed in other versions, but maybe I never noticed] is when selecting a directory path [or drive] in explorer in the tree view [left pane] it automagically places the selected item at the BOTTOM of the tree pane.. grrrr... incredibly annoying and I've not found a way to make it any different..
I want to see the tree expanded BELOW the selection point and not have to scroll and click again to expand what's below it.....

Lack of extras and features that could be implemented. Other than that I love Windows 7.
