I've got 7 on my work laptop, and my lady's got Vista at home. I *despise*
both of them: they do their best to hide what you need to do, if it's
anything other than looking at pictures, playing music, email, and web.
And, IMO, part of the time they have problems with that.

We won't even *begin* to talk about how the work laptop is so locked down
that even wtih a local admin account, I can't do almost anything....

         mark, yes, I do loathe WinDoze
