Reply #67: The reason I'm not fond of Win7

[canetoad]

Is there is too much pre-empting of what I may want to do. The libraries are a disgrace, though admittedly My Docs, My Pix etc on XP is not much better.

As computer users, we have grown out of needing Microsoft (or Apple) to tell us where and how to store our files and how to name the folders.

I'm sure this has grown from a marketing philosophy of Microsoft's that people like computers to be idiot-proof. That may have flown well ten or twelve years ago, but I think they have mis-read computer users and the adherence to XP proves this.

There are lots of things I kind of like about Win7 but in general, XP is easier to hone and tweak and far less intrusive.
