Right . . . I mean, I say Windows 7 is great and thus must be on Microsoft's payroll.  You respond with Windows XP being great.  So who is paying you to say that?  Exactly.   ;D

Ah thanks Atomsmasher.

So as usual the performance differences aren't really impressive. I guess it would help if it's useful quicker after booting. That's the only thing that really bugs me with Vista (compared to XP). The desktop is showing, it looks like booting is done, but it's just sitting there not responding to key presses or mouse clicks.

It's not good.
They should make 1 version: Windows 7 ultimate, and sell it for 129$ (Apple Leopard price) and make no strange impossible OEM licenses. Then it is good.

I hate the taskbar. I intentionally resize my one on vista to 3 or 4 lines to avoid the grouping.

Thumbnails dont tell you what the message window has in it, the title does - so the small thumbnails are wortheless - thats when they work and dont just get an icon on it.

If you are a light user with only 10-20 windows open at a time I can see that it might be ok, but with 40-50 its bloody aweful.

I have being really annoyed that they never put an ungroup this application option in xp/vista for the taskbar. I cant recall when grouping started happening rather then a scrollbar on the taskbar but it was one of the most annoying things ever because it groups so stupid - I end up with acrobat in the list of firefox windows - the somehow explorer windows are in the list with utorrent for some reason? I dunno, and it doesnt seem to have any reasonable way to seperate instances of firefox out - that was an issue in vista tho where they would all group together despite being different processes started from different icons.

Are you talking about the Vista taskbar or the one in windows 7?  Because from what I hear, it's been vastly improved.

I also prefer my tasks not to be grouped, but the way its described in windows 7, it sounds like it might be okay now.
