The transition from Windows XP to Windows 7
(I forgot to crosspost this to XP, in case there are any there still
considering it) So I'm just getting started on trying out Windows 7, although I still prefer Windows XP. I was just curious what any others might have felt about their transition (besides the usual comments of XP is not supported anymore, etc, etc). For me, I had to install Classic Shell to help me get around in Windows 7, as the original configuration (to me) leaves much to be desired, including a pretty confusing Control Panel! Even now I still find it harder to get to things, such as System Restore, for example. In XP, you simply clicked on System Restore, and ALL options were there ("restore" OR "create an image" OR "change the restore settings"). Not so with Windows 7. Another example: right mouse click on the Desktop in XP, and everything related is right there for configuration; not so in Windows 7. It just seems like you have to go thru more hoops to get to anything you want to configure, or even get to the desired application in the first place. Want to change the file associations? Where is it? Well, I found it by using that search box - that's the only way I could find where its hiding (or many things, for that matter). In Win XP, in Windows Explorer, you simply clicked on the folder options column, and went to file types. Is it my imagination, or is a bit less intuitive than Win XP or Win9x, for that matter? |
