I have often found troubles with the new Windows in the first year of it's releaes. They tend to act a lot like alpha releases except you have to buy them for a price and there is little or no support ("blame the user", "that error message does not exist" etc) let alone efficient means of bug-tracking/fixing. Within approx the last year of official support the thing becomes really quite usable but it really starts to fly about the time official MicroSquish support ends. Of course by then it is extremely vulnerable to viruses and there are many known issues but thecrucial word is "known" rather than "denied". I have been visiting a few offices in past few weeks and almost all of them have brand-new machines with Xp. Win7 seems to be for home users; the type of users MicroSquish doesn't care about and doesn't mind annoying because they can't fight back and can be easily duped by "tech support" over an expensive phone call. Really glad to have this space to blow off steam knowing that most of you might disagree with the odd comment or be able to finesse a better or more precise way of sayign the same thing but who understand what i mean because of having tried an alternative to Windows.
