Windows 7 Update: It Still Doesn't Suck

In case people were wondering.

It being too difficult to find the setting you need to change in the mess of a control panel still kind of sucks. But otherwise, it doesn't suck. Oh, except it's still over-priced for what you get.

I find "it doesn't suck" also... so I am buying the 3 for one package for the house, and the wife got a $30 educational offer through school.

But I concur, I am not that impressed with the control panel, and set mine to a more classical style.

I'm looking forward to trying it out. :)

My computer still hasn't exploded yet.
Neither has it gone "vista" on my ass.
So I'm happy.

Thus this ad :


is total BS

Something about the look of the new box art/logo/product splash they have was poking at my brain. I've been getting it on my monitor when i log into windows live to play a co-op game. I think i figured out last night what was making something in my brain tickle.

the brushed metal/lighting/feel/friendly curves/etc of it is like something you'd see out of the folks at apple, and the whole thing wanders (in my brain at least) into some kind of trademarky uncanny valley.

I hope it continues to be awesome. I'll think about picking it up after others have had a decent burn-in period.

I pre-ordered it back when they were selling it at half price. Supposedly it's in the mail, so I'll know sometime in the next week or so if I am going to love it or hate it (though I suppose ambivalence isn't completely off the table).

As long as it doesn't let the blue smoke out of my computer I'll be happy.

All software sucks.

Some software just sucks less.

No Suck?

That's good! Wonder if I could upgrade my 8 year old HP running on XP to Windows 7 without problems?

If something comes along that I need, that absolutely demands Win7, I'll think about it. XP and Win2000 are all I need so far.
