Personally I find the Vista/7 Control Panel to be convoluted. Especially in the Personalization properties area. For example, changing screen resolution in 7 is too many clicks (from right-click on the desktop) with no obvious path to get there and is different than Vista. The breadcrumb trail in Personalization is difficult to navigate with some screens requiring you to apply the settings before moving on and others not. I can do what I need to do here, I just see no simplification over the XP style control panel. Some things were improved, but mostly not IMO. -- Mike Gill
