So Vista was a fat bloated pig of an OS, and i hated it.. i stuck to XP.
Now W7 was announced, supposed to be faster then greased lightening.
Tried the RC, and you know what, it IS seriously fast, and ready for all the new hardware and software...lovely!
But Microsoft being Microsoft, figured it had to do something to piss folks off, so they removed the option to turn off all the bloat and return to the classic look.
Seriously , why ??? I like to have my stuff in the way i'm used to have it, the way i can work as fast as i want.
Why are they forcing customers to learn a new method of navigating on their own frigging pc??!?
Because MS decides , "it's time to move on" ??!?!?
So you can get the quicklaunch back via a workaround, eg set up a toolbaar to do almost the same.
You can turn off unwanted stuff from the start menu... But then you still have a fat menu , with a big grey area in it, and a menu system that still doesn't work like it used to...
Sure you can make shortcuts for the things they took a way from the desktop..
But why should i workaround something that worked and i liked out of the box??
probably a futile attempt at "making a difference", but i started a petition...
