I hate it, it's stupid.  It's made for really old people or children.  It makes funny noises, the icons are huge and I cant make them smaller with changing the resolution which doesnt look right.  Why can't they have a "I'm not an idiot" setting? What was wrong with XP?  Can I get a "classic" view? 


Windows 8 is on the way already

I remember saying basically the same thing about XP when it came out.  It is a trend, and unfortunately it will continue.

Fail.  Windows is incompatible with instant anything.

I have Windows XP and I love it. I had Vista on my laptop and I had it taken off and put XP on it too. RTR!

At least XP has the classic view.  I just hate not knowing my way around.  And the icons drive me crazy.

I love Windows 7!!

As an IT Consultant it is my job to stay current on the latest technologies. I will say that Windows 7 certainly has its shortcomings, but so has every other version. The thing that frustrates people is that as soon as they learn a new version it is out of date. If they are going to continue putting out new versions, they should attempt to keep the structure and basic layout consistent.

^^^THIS^^^

It really annoys me that every new version has to have a different way to get to all of the different settings.  It isn't easier, just different.  And the Microsoft trend of making assumptions and doing things for me really irritates me.  They have no idea what I am trying to accomplish and it is very arrogant for them to assume that they know what I am trying to do.  I know they are trying to make it more approachable for the novice but they are doing so at the risk of alienating the guys who have been around for all these years.

If I could get smaller icons I would be more open to it.

you would think.  Even worse, there is this option it says "make your icons bigger or smaller" but you can only make them BIGGER.  It's ridiculous.  I like icons on my desktop, lots of them, and I like them small.

Try this:

1.  Hover over an icon on your desktop.
2.  Hold down control.
3.  Hold down the left mouse button.
4.  Roll the wheel on your mouse.

I just tried it and was able to make them as small or large as I wanted.
