After using a friends mac and screwing around with iMacs at future shop, I have to admit I'm really disappointed with windows 7. At 1st some of the obvious mistakes and cosmetic touch ups were nice, the new hot links on the my computer window, for instance (great addition). Yet as the days go on I run into frustrating issues, like the confusing and complicated ownership commands (to try and rename windows sidebar... the vista side bar had more options, if you can believe) the taskbar/quick launch also has a funny quirk; when you click a link on yoru task bar it often expands as the active window. problem is if your in a site that wont let you start a new window, liek a java chatroom, you have to open the start menu as clicking the firefox link only switches to the chat room (unless you right click, then hit new.. a seemingly small gripe but it completely mitigates the function of a quick launch bar)

Windows 7 is what Vista should have been, and Mac continues to march and improve their hardware and OS. Very disappointing.

How's everyone else on 7 so far?
