What don't you like about Windows 7?

[derekimo]

I absolutely cant stand that there isn't anything negative to say yet!! :roflmao:

My thoughts exactly.

 

[FreshSam]

Oh right, it lacks a native program for mounting ISOs. It's good they incorporated an image burner in the OS

 

[Dom]

The only new thing I see is the taskbar, Action Centre, Libraries and Homegroup. And maybe a little performance increase.
(Just realized i need to change specs to Win7 )

 

[1Bowtie]

Libraries, Hate it.

 

[gregrocker]

don't be sad, there is a third party attachement called "espresso maker" sold at any walmart .
Has to be kept on the left hand side of the screen, though....

thanks for this valuable tip. Mine was working very strange, espresso was not strong enough. After moving the device to the left side of my display it's now perfect.

Enjoy, please :d

Enjoy?
But it came with XP !!

I hate Windows 7 Walmart espresso maker and am going back to XP..

Sometimes you have to use third party solutions

Sadly

I've upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista...
My software development system is trashed.
My Bluetooth don't work.
My Tivo desktop don't work.

And that's dayone!

I'm off to the Apple Store as after 25 years of development and design I've had it with Microsoft.

I need a life and prepared to pay for it!

And all that stuff you just mentioned? Is probably going to fail on a Mac as well.
Install the drivers for your bluetooth, it will work.
Why doesn't TiVo Desktop work? Or anything else?

If you give us more information we may be able to solve these problems.

Not to mention none of that stuff has anythong to do with Microsoft.

So I would suggest going back into your cave (XP or wherever) and waiting for the manufacturers to come up with updates for 7.

all of my PC's and laptops are at least 3 yrs old, one is 10 yrs old, every one runs win7 (all legit)i have had minor problems with installs but nothing compared to XP/Vista so for me personally win7 is the best os i have used so for people having trouble search these forums, ask questions ,every body is here to help ,dont shout down the os ask for help ,it WILL be given but most of all dont get uptight about it, CHILLAX

 

[willhub]

Nothing bad to say about it really, it is the best OS I have used, it's better than Vista and XP, I really liked Vista, I never could understand why people thought XP was better than Vista, in a way, Windows 7 is not a massive amount different to Vista. Anyway, I like the sleek and stylish looks of Windows 7, love the new taskbar, at first I configured it to look like Vista but I've grown to like the new taskbar.

Performance is the best part, everything just loads so smoothly, memory usage is around Windows XP level whilst just like Vista, the system never fails to slow down. I just can't fault it, MS done good!

They should add some TOTALY NEW Icons than keep the same Icons & add few more

Hope in WIndows 8 will have totaly NEW Set of Desktop Icons

Is there a way for up to Add icons to the Default folder ?

I'm a bit annoyed at a few things, this is for real, not kidding...

1) Windows 7 (and Vista) captures auto pasting. So say your using an external program (like Hamsins Clipboard). It provides a handy icon in the Notification Area, your on line using your browser and you have a text box that your typing into and you want to paste some info you have saved in the Hamsins CB, you click the icon, up pops the clipboard contents and you click on the bit you want to paste. Now in Windows XP, this worked perfectly. It would simply paste the info. Since Vista, and now 7, Windows 'captures' the info that's being sent to this form so you don't get an 'auto paste' from it. So far I see no way to tell Windows to back off and let the darned program paste for me rather than using keyboard shortcuts to paste! Total PITA!

2) In an system Explorer opened window, on the side bar, at the top is a link called "Favorites". Well it's not working as expected. :sarc: I have done it all.. right clicked on a folder and told it to add to the Favorites. I've dragged the folder over to the Favorites... nothing I've tried works so I gave up. So if there's a way to hide the Favorites link on the side bar I just assume do that as it's a constant reminder that it's broken and I can't seem to use it. If there's a fix then please post!

Other than that, I've give Windows 7 a 90% approval rating. There's probably something else I don't care for but it escapes me at the moment (coffee has not kicked in yet or something!! :sarc: )

two things about the aero theme really annoy me

1) http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/32594-aero-theme-question.html#post335574

never had this resolved. And yes Ive tried many other aero themes all dissapointing. I really want aero theme without the active bar font overlay

2) Better colour coordination with the task bar buttons. Basically get rid of the light grey

Then I'm a happy bunny again (rather envious of the vista theme thats how bad it is)

however I keep using it because its faster then classic theme.

My main issue with Windows 7 is the severe lack of 'fit and finish' present in the OS.

From a performance, stability, usability perspective, the OS is near perfect.

Sadly from an aesthetic perspective, I feel it is extremely lacking.

I appreciate that it isn't the most important area of an OS but as an official beta tester for Vista, 7, and a member of the Windows Early Feedback team, it is something I have been passionate about for some time.

Interesting perspective; I know it's an early (late) post but do you think MS got it right - I mean post-beta> Thanks.

 

[HJA]

My main peeve is no joystick support for db15 / midi. I have a great M$ Force Feedback Pro and I can't use it...........YET! I am still looking at the problem but right now not much luck

 

[richc46]

The only minor thing that I do not like is library. I think that it is not needed and just makes things more difficult.

 

[Krout]

I have to re-learn everything (well, not really)

That's what I really don't like about MS in general and Windows 7 in particular. They keep changing the names of the same functions and toss them around. Anybody need examples?

 

[logicearth]

@Krout, after 10 years things are going to change...not just in the tech world either.
