I've figured out how to stop the annoying "fade in" windows. Now they pop in like XP. This thing is much faster. I'm not sure how much is x64 operating system and how much is bigger/badder processors.

x64 is a pain in the @ss for getting the right drivers. I needed a driver for my Dell Printer. The CD that came with the printer didn't work. The Dell website under Windows 7 x64, didn't have a driver. I ended up looking under Vista x64, and found the Win 7 x64 updated driver!

I've reloaded all of the essential software. Only Symantec is having a slight issue and I just need to get to Symantec and download the right driver.

Yep, things are in a little bit different places, but I'm finding my way. Kinda like moving into a new house. With an operating system, I don't see the need to move things around, for the sake of moving things around.
