A lot of attention has been paid to usability, so a lot of the small pains of Vista are gone (the list is really huge). This is probably the biggest reason to switch from Vista, and when still using it XP.<\/li>\n<li>The new task-bar design feels a little awkward at first, but works really logical, so you&#8217;re off with it in an instant.<\/li>\n<li>No lame sidebar to remove every time you install the OS.<\/li>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t have to install any driver or have problems with internet connection, which I did sometimes with Vista or XP.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s compatible with Vista &#8211; all my apps still run on it. This is cause at it&#8217;s core Win 7 is really similar to Vista.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The bad:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Quick-launch is disabled by default. Most people probably won&#8217;t miss it, since you can pin items in <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Features_removed_from_Windows_7#Taskbar\" target=\"_blank\">the task-bar<\/a>. When you are used to having 12 or 14 items in your quick-launch, which is quite doable in Vista if you have a double height task-bar, you&#8217;ll be pretty annoyed though. Luckily, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sevenforums.com\/tutorials\/888-quick-launch-enable-disable.html\" target=\"_blank\">enable quick launch<\/a>, but still it&#8217;s not as good as the Vista version. Only one line of quick-launch items is displayed on a task-bar with default height, and only one is added when you double the height. This is really lame, since doubling the height of the task-bar isn&#8217;t logical, since it&#8217;s already almost as heigh as the double Vista one, and isn&#8217;t needed, unless you regularly have a few dozen apps open in your task-bar. What makes it even lamer is that the task bar could display 2 lines of quick-launch items, but simply doesn&#8217;t. So apparently I&#8217;ll have to be satisfied with only 6 (directly click-able) items in my quick-launch.<\/li>\n<li>The snap-window feature, or whatever it&#8217;s called, that enables you to maximize a window by dragging it to the top of your screen, or putting it half screen by dragging it to one of the edges is nice, but sadly you can&#8217;t do this on an edge that has another monitor area next to it.<\/li>\n<li>Still no way to minimize\/maximize (win key + d) all windows on one monitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to wait a little with installing it on my other machines. It&#8217;s very likely to make both my Win XP and Vista disks obsolete though. No reason to install Vista any more, and same for XP, which I only used cause Vista used up to much resources. I hope most people will upgrade from XP to Win 7, cause that OS is really getting old, and no matter what most people say &#8211; Vista is better, assuming your machine is powerful enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been using windows 7 for 3 days now (on my primary machine), and these are my impressions: The good:&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[186,290,291],"class_list":["post-280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-software","tag-os","tag-windows","tag-windows-7"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
