After all this time, I still wish that it was running XP, as my previous one did.
In my opinion, XP was more "useable and workmanlike". Windows7 is too much 'eye candy' and "Hold my hand, darling. I will look after you".
I wonder if I am being too nostalgic, or if anyone agrees with me?
Cheers.
Keith

Quote from: Steve You can strip windows 7 down so it looks really naff and uses less recources, I think Windows 7 is far superior to outdated X.P. in all different kinds of ways, Of course thats just my opinion.
Without going into great detail, how is this done and how stripped down can it be ? In other words, is it controllable ? What I already hate with XP is the loss of control from Windows 98, so the thought of Windows 7 sends shivers down my spine. I hate these Wizards and automation because you never know where you are if you are at all technically savvy, and they seldom work satisfactorilly. They are really designed for parrot-fashion users rather than someone with a modicum of knowledge.
As I may be forced to buy new hardware soon, as my laptop is nearing the end of its days after only four years, I am really dreading the move to Windows 7 for that reason and am full of foreboding - oh for the days of MSDOS and Wordstar !
