Windows 7: Excellent except for 3 "issues"
I have been running Windows 7 for almost a year now. I like it, but have three complaints that really need attention.
1. If you leave your computer over night, when you come back it
can take as long as 10 minutes to become fully functional
again. VISTA had this problem but it was not as severe.
2. Like other versions of Windows, over time, Windows 7
"matures". Maturation requires a reboot to restore youthful
vigor. With XP and VISTA it was about a month. Basically, the
network would curdle. With Windows 7, it seems shorter. I
experienced starting a cmd.exe that did not pick up the
PATH variable. I closed a number of applications and tried
again, but got the same results. I believe this is a side
effect of the memory allocation problems described in #1.
3. Scrollable pages jump. This is especially noticeable in
Windows explorer. If you try to navigate in the left pane of
Windows explorer and you push the '+' to open a folder. The
left pane doesn't move for a bit then jumps to the bottom of
the list of items in the folder. This also shows up in
browsers where pages will jump around until fully loaded.
Has anyone else seen these problems? Have they been reported and
is Microsoft going to fix them?
