ceagleArgh.
Well, finally got to spend several hours tussling with a Windows7 machine. I really don't see what the fanfare is about.
Sure, it's nice n fast, but maybe it has a great deal to do with the fact that newer machines are out now, and they are fast to begin with.
It still has UAC turned on by default, and it still has other issues.
UAC doesn't bother me much, but wasn't that the biggest complaint people had?
Notes:
Has a different way of doing compatibility / permissions... and using it on the program that failed to work (DreamWeaver CS3), those didn't help a bit. I've gotten them to help many, many times in Vista.
It still has that super-annoying related-folder-icon-reset "feature" that is (imho) the worst thing about Vista.
Ejecting mounted drives now seems to be a logical improvement... gotta be fair and give it kudos for that. In the big picture though, whoop-de-do.
Extra note about DreamWeaver... it would not UnInstall after repeated attempts. The process just idles.
Startup wasn't all that impressive. Still takes nearly 3 minutes on a brand new HP 9630 with an advanced video card.
QuickLook icons do not get added properly either, apparently. None worked with the installs done today in fact. Must be added manually.
Has cute little fireflies at startup. er, ahem.. whoop-de-do.
Any other good / bad stuff you've noticed about it?
EDIT:
Here are some snapshots from my gaming pc, just to further illustrate what was in Vista before Win7, even on SP1 (the first release after the initial ones that I know of)...
