Why XP owners won't love Windows 7

Windows 7 Ultimate: A Successful OS

I am a current Mac user running Snow Leopard. But, on the other side of my hard drive (HD) I am operating Windows 7 Ultimate. I was a die hard Windows XP Pro fan and swore by this OS over any Windows platform because of its ease of use and programmability. I gave up on Windows because XP is poorly designed and Vista was a complete failure. I could not even get Vista to operate in Bootcamp (a system apple makes for the allowance of installing Windows OS on a Mac)because of the resources it hogged. I decided to stay with just Mac for a long time. Then, Windows 7 was released and I was hesitant to install it, but I did anyway. All I have to say to Microsoft is GREAT JOB! I am amazed at how it runs and well designed it is. No error messages that occurred in XP and not a bit like Vista. I think Windows 7 is a complete redesign of Windows XP, except its more contemporary and better built with more features. I absolutely love working on my computer everyday. The OS does not fail in ways that previous OS used to. I will be with Windows 7 for a very long time. Also, it works fantastically with an Apple Macbook Pro 17". I feel like the luckiest man to have the two greatest OS on the world on the best computer. I amlmost feel like I am working on an OS similar to Snow Leopard. Yes, I believe Microsoft copied ideas from Apple, but it is for a good cause. I give Windows 7 a five-star rating and I have to say that Microsoft actually made its name rise again.

I went from a bit slow but

I went from a bit slow but really lovely and intuitive system to a completely piece of crap software. Windows 7 doesn't even looks like Windows anymore. I utterly hate it and I am happy to be going back to my XP! 8o|

I hate Windows 7. I hate

I hate Windows 7. I hate that many of my programs don't work and I need to spend $$$ to buy new programs. Programs that I have used for years and love; and there are no new updates for some of them so I basically can't use them anymore!

I hate that the duplex feature on my printer doesn't work in Windows 7. So I have to spend $$$ to buy new hardware.

I hate that I have to enter my admin password dozens of times a day. Everytime I open certain programs, even though I have tried to run as administrator and assigned privileges, etc. It is totally ridiculous to have to enter a password every single time you open a program that you regularly use.

I hate that I didn't listen to my kids and get a Mac!!!

I think xp is better than windows 7

I have had computers since 1999.
I bought a new computer Christmas 2009 from PCWorld, running Windows 7.
It is the first time I felt miserable having a PC.
My last computer ran Windows XP and Outlook Express 6.
I didn't use (or understand) all the features XP offered,but I appreciated its robustness and intuitive programmes.
Now I have Windows7, and I absolutely hate it.
It has so many add-ons and blatant commercially inspired extra features, but also a sloppy, difficult to understand basic operative system.
I am 63 y.o., so yes, I don't like change.
But it seems to me that Microsoft have CHANGED the operating system, not IMPROVED it.
This can only be for financial gain.
Windows XP was pretty easy to use for those like me who see computers as a TOOL, not a WAY OF LIFE.
Windows 7 may be faster, but it is unnecessarily complicated.
So many choices, so many add-ons that you don't really need.
I am so disillusioned with it that I am paying a guy to reinstall XP.
And that includes removing Norton 360 that keeps insisting that you do a backup, but it is only a trial period which when it ends you will have to pay Norton to continue!!
Absolutely cynical and exploitative.
The very worst of US capitalism...

XP Vs Windows7

If I'm running a Windows 7 machine on a netwrk with Windows XP will the machines communicate properly over a network?

Vista and now it is happening on W.7

I bought a Dell PC last year with Vista, after a short while it started skipping key strokes a lot. I have a lap top with XP and have had no problems, so I assumed it was the Dell, I tried other key boards, same result. I returned it. Next I bought a PC by ZT Systems with Winows 7(great machine) and with in two weeks the same thing started to happen. My XP laptop however never misses a stroke. So I eliminated it being a problem with my ATT Uverse wireless setup and now I believe it is Windows 7. I want to get rid of 7 and re-load XP. Has any one else had this problem, my e-mail is fshs4ever@sbcglobal.net Larry

The Run box of Windows 7

The Run box of Windows 7 even Vista is NOT disappeared.
You could enable it by changing the settings of Start Menu in control panel.

Driver is a big problem.

But the change of Explorer is NOT!
You'll love it after you've get used to the better explorer.

Why did they use the same drivers...

Ok i like windows 7 its pretty damn cool, i thought this is nice up until the fact that out of all the differnt variations of windows 7 just like 2 of them CANT run in xp mode. I find that really annoying when i jsut got it and i want to go into xp mode to play a game i jsut bought to find out that my windows 7 does not have xp mode.

Whats your fucking deal microsoft? Why make all of them but a few not have xp mode? I would not have gotten it had i known.

I love windows 7! The tool

I love windows 7! The tool bar at the top is so convenient. I hate using Vista or XP after using 7. Get over the old and move into the future people.
