Fwt or Fml. You decide.

Abide by all the forums rules etc, you aren't kids you know what to do. :)

This is my first post, so be kind. Big up all coders! ;]

Thanks,
Smithy

No question, it is the best desktop level OS they've ever produced. Going back to any of the previous ones is painful.

True, however, I just want Microsoft to hurry their ass up and create the SP1 to fix the bugs :(

Thanks Jonathan_King. Only Stumbled across SF while looking at the post on BitLocker as my boss asked me what it did, so I had to research up about it.

Welcome to the boards! I have to agree 100% with DeaconFrost. Can't wait to see what Windows 8 will be like, they better not mess it up. :D

Definitely. If they mess it up well have to go on strike.

However, if it's anything like Win7, they'll make sure it's good.

What bugs are you referring to? To be honest, I can't think of any off the top of my head!

They learned big lessons from Vista. I think it will be a veeerrry long time before they do that again.

SP1 is in beta and should be out soon, It's just a rollup of all the updates to date. I can't think of any bugs ATM.

Just a small one really, but annoying if you have OCD and like your PC to look perfect, haha. Where you hover over your icon and when you move your mouse away the icon still highlights.

Poorly-designed? Please, please, please! tell me how you came to that conclusion? If you were talking about Vista that was created on 99% appearance and 1% performance, then I would agree. But on an OS that is completely different?

I don't think it possible to iron out all bugs because what you have to remember is technology and software advances every minute of the day and when you update your software(s) with the latest version who knows what little glitches it may cause with the stuff you already have on there.

I think to answer the ops question then this imo is by far the greatest operating system ever produced, even as a beta!
