I'm done with buying Macs for a while. I really do love my iMac and my MacBook is my trusty companion when I travel, but after using Windows 7, I now know that I'm ready o jump back into the world of Windows. In my testing, Windows 7 isn't just an outstanding operating system that provided an ideal experience, but it's also a great alternative to Mac OS X. I find it superior to Apple's software on almost every level. It's that good.

It is, I wont deny that.

But have any of you noticed that with W7 your system has lost its personality?

it's a box with a bunch of wires and stuff in it. i still get "my videos", etc. if that's what you mean. a personal os, to me, is one that does what i want, and this does, to the point of installing xp drivers because i pressed the wrong link...lol

Interesting, a Dell is a box with a bunch of wires and stuff in it. It too can still get "your videos", etc. but it doesn't have your computers personality.

I generally find installing a OS is a clean slate, but the PC tends to inherit a personality. Dealing with 7 systems a day, you quickly learn what each system likes and dislikes. With W7, it has more of a terminal feel to it. It feels cold

Now that is an interesting analogy. Pretty insightful.

Anyone notice on build 7022, when you disable 'Search/Indexing' (as I like to do) it removes the 'search box' from the start menu, completely? I do not like that! As if its 'forcing' one to use this feature.

heck, if you just labeled the folder "donkey pr0n" in the beginning, you wouldn't have to search for it so often...
