    i found more bugs in windows 7. When i run programs simultaneously from several external usb hd's and then constatly plug and unplug all usb cables, some programs stop running.

    Another bug i found, using my test machine, is that when i cut the power from the main switch when windows is booting, after 20 or 30 retries windows can no longer read my hd.

    All these bugs, why can't they give us a working os?

    I still don't see why this deserves an entire debate. Most people don't need 75-80 explorer Windows open.
    It's not really a debate, but more of an interesting fact. Practically you probably won't have this issue, but I'm surprised that you do.

    It's a bloody scandal! I'm going to email that nice Mr Ballmer and ask for a refund

    Exactly. Like how 32-bit systems can't handle more than ~3.5 GB of RAM. It's not a bug, it's just the way the system works.
    Surely you know a 32-bit OS can handle more than 4 GB of physical ram. You probably meant to say it's just the way Microsoft licenses memory usage.

    Yes, I knew. I was referring to Windows, since you know, this is a Windows forum

    But certain flavors of 32-bit Windows allow much more than 4 GB...

    And apologies to the TS for this thread diversion.

    I still think it's a bug and NOT a feature. Also, whilst 75 explorer windows sounds like a lot, in the days of ssds, 24gb mem, 6 core processors, why shouldnt the OS handle it? Answers on a postcard....
    Because it allows your older programs to run on it, making your life easier and cheaper.
