Windows 7 Sucks!

i can't see much of a problem with Win7. i even like win7 over vista. i still use xp here with my office desktop while xp on my personal netbook.

I recently got a new laptop with Win 7 on it. It was a gift from my hubby. I agree XP was really simple and with win 7, i am not much comfortable, may be i will find it better as days goes on. I face problems especially in compatibility, in installing my applications which requests for higher versions and upgrade. I am making my hands on Win 7, hope i may like it in future!

I also have my issues with Windows 7! It is very picky. I've had to create new profiles so I could use my computer. There were some authorization violations on the original profiles, now I can't even acces my files. I have to schedule it to get it fixed, as I am not a computer whiz. XP was a lot simpler, and a lot better!

I'm not an IT specialists or something, but people still using XP don't necessarily need to upgrade unless they have to. Well, Windows XP is going to be obsolete sooner or later like it or not. There are still people using Windows Vista as well, which I never dwell. In other words, I never have a computer or laptop running Vista. Pretty soon, there will be new Windows OS as long as Microsoft is in operation. What you always can do is giving your rant to this big corporation. Just tell the ones that create Windows 7 how sucky it has been, lol. If millions of people are complaining how sucky it is, whoever working on the next OS will work on what could improve. Do you always backup your computer everytime you turn it on? G.

I have heard several say they really enjoy windows 7, but to be honest with you I totally hate it. I don't like the way it runs at all. I find it to be way too slow for me. I prefer my XP and will use it until no one decides they cannot support it any longer. lol

Mine is windows XP .I am not all that strong in the respect,so I make do with what I have got.It is said that Windows 7 has hundreds of improvements,take it for what it is worth.

Well, I got to admit Janey, that I have found Windows 7 more stable than XP. I didn't upgrade though. My old XP machine burned its motherboard - far too expensive to repair. I got a tower-only computer from one of the E-bay traders - half the price of my old XP that I got from the high street. Anyway I digress... Windows 7 was already installed and I recieved the original disk and not just a "fix it" disk as with XP. My machine now is more powerful with quad processor and lots of RAM. A few years back I updated to Windows ME from 98 on an old machine, but had loads of problems and went back to 98 - which in my opinon, was a terrible operating system, always crashing. I read on the net recently, that Linnux is a good operating system and runs with virtually no crashes or problems at all. Maybe I'll try that sometime in the future, but for the moment, I will stick the microsoft. Amazing really what we do put up with! _Derek

I have been using windows 7 for awhile now, no problems so far. Have you tried updating your version to the service pack 1. I'm guessing there were bugs before which the update fixed and what you are experiencing could be one of it.

I have been using Windows 7 for the last 3 months or so and find that it works great. It is not as busy as XP was and seems to be more efficient along the lines of the Linux system which I had before. XP seemed to have way too many programs attached to it that I never used and they just took up extra space. I think Windows 7 is more streamlined and just seems to work better. I was used to XP in the old days, but things kept going wrong with it which is why I gave up on Windows and went to Linux for a couple of years.

I am using Windows 7 and the first time I used it I instantly fell in love with it! I used Vista for a few months before W7 was released, so I already adjusted from XP - Vista. I haven't experienced anything about "Backup in progress".

I like xp than window 7 why? Because window 7 is not stable as xp but I believe it will be stable soon plus window 7 consumes huge amount of ram while xp only consumes 128 mb of ram which you can perform a lot of task than window 7. The only bad thing in windows xp is there is no online support from microsoft but I love using xp.

Yes recently there's been a lot of complaints about win7 from many a users around.I too tried upgrading my xp sp 2 to win 7 and was trying out how it is.My first experience in what what i saw was the memory thing.It eats up a lot of your cpu memory.Second it displays everything is faster overface but the RAM gets congested in the background which slows down if you are into online net working specially.The system won't prompt you or alert you for backup or update.It goes on its own which updates by itself without your knowing ,which drastically slows down your networking really.So, i don't know about other users and their opinions,but for me it is a pain than a gain.

I tried XP - Vista - Win7. I loved Windows XP since it's so easy to use and it's fast. Since most end-users are using it, support is everywhere on the net so it's easy to find a fix if something happened to it. Vista, well, I simply HATE Vista :P Windows 7 is perfectly fine for me. Most are complaining that Windows 7 runs really slow but if you increase the memory speed/RAM of your machine, it will definitely run accordingly. Also, lowering the graphics a bit would help a lot. In all, I prefer Windows 7 since quite a lot of our users are using Windows 7 most are also moving from XP to 7 since Microsoft, in some time, will stop supporting XP to concentrate on Windows 7. What I love most about Windows 7 is the User Admin/Security Feature as well as the auto-restore and auto-save point. So far I've been using Win7 for 3 years now and I haven't formatted or encountered any problems yet :)

Hello :) I found it crap as well but unless i turn to apple/linux then we will just have to get use to it i can't see there ever being a great windows OS :(

It took me a long while to get used to XP and I skipped Vista. 7 is okay, and I have not encountered that problem. Everytime I get anything new, however, like Firefox 6, what ever it is tries to take over the entire computer and I never know why. I now have Bing and MSN come up as my home page. I never asked for that. I think Firefox 6 did it, but a little box is now congratulating me on my new Dell computer (nine months old.)

I've had no problems with W7. and as for the back - up, I solved that by not specifying a location for it to back up to! It keeps sending me messages telling me that "No backup location has been specified" but I can live with that. I liked XP a lot but I think that W7 is better and much better than Firefox which, despite all the upgrades continues to be crash prone.

My computer has Windows 7 also. I have not had any problems with it. I hope it continues to be that way.

I know very little about windows 7. Right now I'm using Vista, but everyone I knows say they pitty me because I've got vista. Now your problem may not be with the OS itself, but without full details I don't know what to tell you. There could be many reasons it's frozen like that, and I'm sorry you're having trouble solving this annoying issue.

Acoording to me Win 7 is the best ever windows operating system and vista is the worst of it. Also my Xp OS used to crash every month. SO i think you can opt for manual backup. Also see if the problem is due to a hardware fault. You can contact the tech support for solving your problem, They might lead you in aright direction.

mostly one who upgrades his/her sofware it becomes more user friendly, but as in this case it more torturing. Well I use xp as my os. I wish to convert into win 7 or vista. I think I must prefer vista.
