Windows 7 surpasses Windows XP in share, in U.S.

Windows 7 is just like Vista rehashed. Full of gimmicks and fancy tricks. Aero Snap? There's a far better version in XP called Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically that isn't limited to arranging just two windows but any number you select. There are many good useful features of XP removed and broken in Windows 7. The file manager, Windows Explorer was utterly destroyed in Vista and becomes worse in Windows 7. Poor usability. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_features_removed_in_Windows_7 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_features_removed_in_Windows_Vista . Unnecessary GUI changes. Vista was innonative but horrible usability wise and removed things. Windows 7 is Vista with few new features and again many features removed and fancy gimmicks and shiny graphics added.

Windows & manufacturers are such A-holes, "forcing" Windows+trialware bundles on laptops & netbooks.

all I can do is buy the best specs & build quality, Borg it to Linux :)

at least I can still buy barebones desktop systems, or build from components.

cheers!

There's a neat fix for some of the annoyances of 7 (and Vista). It's called classic shell and I use it. link

Well they are working on W8. I guess they have gone hog wild since they were finally able to make a stable version of software after what almost 20 yrs!

Yes I know because I'm involved in its development. Does that mean it's okay for Microsoft to just rip stuff apart from their OS assuming third parties fix it?

I like XP Professional, it has given a full functions of what i need.
