Just picked up an i5 Laptop with winblows 7
Found three fat raspberries straight away
1 ) the search for files function is crippled and next to useless , cant find a damn thing, searching for a string inside a file ? ...um let me google a solution
= dual boot with winxp so you can find your win7 damn files !
2 ) cant disable system voice commands when using speech recognition
= while you try & dictate , windows will start shuffling the contents of your hard drive around !!! opening and closing and moving god knows what !
say "hello" = home key
3 ) the features on the start task bar is arranged in such a fashion as to warp your sense of reality
the whole graphical user interface has been royal screwed up to the point that windows 3.1 starts to look sexy
I noted extensive security and monitoring features built in , but i have to say i am truly amazed at the insanity of the GUI....win 95 / win xp was soooo much more intuitive.....im truly gobsmacked as how M$ can make so many fundamental blunders
" win7 how to search for files " gets 48 million hits on google
....yes its that bad !
Q how do i display thumbnails , mini pic's of my pictures ? has the gone to the wall too
day 3 , and win7 is not looking good, if i didnt need to do win7 compatibility tests id format and install XP without hesitation
i need to figure out how to install xp on a portable hd so i can boot my laptop from that and search for some win7 system files i need to edit....this is so sad
vindows blista then sin'dows sven what next windows h8te ?
XP 4 ever , and now i know why ! it may have more security holes than swiss cheese , but the others are so (ob)secure you need to be a hacker to carry out basic everyday tasks
