Default 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?

I think Windows 7 is better than XP in every way. Yes, it's a little
more complex, but I never had any problem figuring out what was where.
