3. erratic issues with sharing directories. Sharing was simple with XP -
one click to share, another to unshare. Win7 has a maze of dialog boxes and
alternate ways of doing it, some work, some don't, and no feedback on
whether it works or not.
[ WinXP would superimpose a hand image over a shared directory. In Win7, there's
no indication. ]
I have a terrible time figuring out how to do anything "advanced" on Win7
compared to XP. The missing menu bar is a problem too. In terms of overall
usability, XP is still the best Windows IMO.
I find the new Win7 to be much too clever. For example, if you move a window up
against the top edge of the screen, it switches to full screen. Aggh. I know why
that was done, but it's just tailfins and taillights in the shape of jet
engines. I prefer utilitarian interfaces.
Speaking of which, it annoys me that pdf files in a folder *still* won't use an
icon that is the first page of the pdf. I really like that my ipod does that -
but the kindle and windows won't.
Also bad is although you can specify a "folder.jpg" as the icon for a folder, it
shows it as a distorted trapezoid!! Gah. Too darn clever for me.
