having to disable hardware acceleration to watch any youtube video, fb crashing, sound disappearing - and all the adjustments hidden away in obscure places which meant googling/visiting/regoogling/revising/following the steps - per each problem.
transparent windows appearing in when opening any tabbed folder, window maximising if I hold the mouse-click down for too long - fuck that shit (didn't even get into anywhere near the amount of programs/applications I use), and spending hours and hours fine-tuning it all. Reverted back to xp, and guess I'll have to just live with the RAM limitation that xp brings.
Oh, and no outlook express to import my emails either, some wanky livemail shit. Never again will I upgrade an existing system, I wanted to kill people 2 days in - I was literally fantasising about being in a locked room with people who actually worked on win7 and decided users are too dumb to edit their own backed up .txt files, but on the flip side you need to be a semi-(tech)genius to work out how to do it without googling for the instructions
