DISQUS

Granted that many visual aspects of Win7 improve on Vista, and the "internals" have improved (especially the quicker startup/shutdown time). I do however dislike the way applications open up in the exact quickl aunch task bar position to which the shortcut appears. This appears counter-intuitive, since where you'd expect to see other shortcuts (after opening up an app) they've been shifted to the right! AAARRRGGG! WinXP for all of it's faults has this sorted, since most of my frequently used development related app shortcuts appear on the quick launch bar, the position of each is firmly ingrained in my memory from severe over-use! Vista does reproduce the XP quick-launch style, but sadly not extended to Win7. Apparently "minor" aspects such as this drive people (usually developers) who just want to get on with their work utterly mad!!!

If you just stick with it, I think you will find the way Windows 7 does it to be pretty good. You just have to get past your set ways.
