New HPs shipping with Windows 7...

I have to use Windows 7 on my laptop, but only because I couldn't get a Dell with XP.

Windows Explorer 7 was designed by drunken perverts. They arbitrarily changed dozens of rules just so you'd accidentally delete a file or entire folders. Why keep the folder highlighted where you want it when the screen will crazily scroll to the top or bottom for no reason?

I see Microsoft continues thinking of their users as parasites, why else design Windows 8 with zero customer input? I only hope when Cyberdyne systems starts building their Terminator robots, the first target is all the Windows programmers at Redmond. No one will miss them.

What about when the rain stops?

I'm using Windows7 in the office and it's better than Windows XP, it doesn't crash so much. But nevertheless I'm a Mac User for years as well and I won't change that

Touchscreen is a fine feature when Windows 8 is bundled with such a device. Not so hot as an upgrade for a traditional desktop. Microsoft wanted to bluntly tell you to ditch the old setup and move into the future. I hope another company replaces them soon, they have been in business too long just by stealing other people's work.
