Built a new rig and installed Windows 7. I thought it would be something worthy, but it starts with a very cheesy interface. Then it has lots of compatibility issues, even with my brand new HD 6870 Sapphire, and I had to reinstall Windows three times due to problems with my sound card. What a nightmare it has been. If you use your computer just for surf the web, it may do the trick, but if you are a heavy user and rely on high end software, beware. The day Apple releases an operational system to rival Microsoft in the PC market we are going to see Microsoft filing for bankruptcy in no time. If I could, I would sue Microsoft for all the hours I lost trying to make it work.

I am having a problem with IE8 since I upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate. I can open an email, but the minute I open the next one it restarts or shutsdown. Any help out there to fix the problem. I have my add-ons off and it still does it. Help!

We are a Microsoft partner and I think that Windows 7 is the product that will cause us to replace Windows XP on our own PCs. It looks like a reasonably solid o/s.

[...] Even so, when I reviewed Windows 7 back in October, I told would-be upgraders that there was no shame in waiting a bit just to make sure that the early adopters who installed it on day one didn’t discover any nasty surprises. For the most part, they didn’t — and the vast majority of those who participated in a survey I conducted raved about the software. [...]

Windows 7 has very few challenged components but there are some. Unfortunately they are also very major issues. (note googling for these issues will reveal much). I’m familiar with the 64 bit version so I cannot say 32 bit versions have the same problems.

1. No email client included in installation. Extremely odd for a “net aware” OS. I suspect because the email client had/has issues. There’s even the directory where “vista” used to keep it, but it’s not there! Sure you can download “Live Mail” and it “might” work. After a couple hours playing with “Live Mail” I pitched it (no uninstaller??) and went for Mozilla’s excellent Thunderbird.

2. Mouse and general USB issues. This is hit or miss and potentially a deal breaker. Since Windows is a mouse driven interface, a mouse that doesn’t work or stutters and freezes is a disaster. Also reported are other USB components which fail such as network adapters and hard drives. Even microsoft’s own products may have persistent, intermittent problems. There are nearly as many attempts at solutions as there are reports. These reports have been coming in since pre-release and are not corrected yet. This does not bode well. Alas, there’s no 3rd party to come to the rescue as in the case of email so if you have trouble, you’re probably stuck.
