    Fair enough, I use 10 and 11 at work and hate it … I used to like 7, using the control panel, search, default paths and stuff seemed a lot more intuitive.

    That’s why I stick with Linux at home, it feels a lot more like Windows used to, lol

      Yeah the control panel revisions took some getting used to, but now I think it’s not so bad. I know where to find everything but I can see how it’s frustrating for others. What’s most important to me is that I have local admin rights on my work PC and can customize it to my liking. Many companies lock their devices down heavily, and I don’t want to deal with that.

        Indeed, I don’t have admin rights for anything outside of IP address changes at work.

        I just thought of another bug bear, start menu lag on mouse clicks is a very odd problem, I don’t remember anything like that, even on the first release of Windows 95 which I ran on a laptop with 25MHz and 8 Mb of ram.

          I’ve heard about that but haven’t noticed it myself. It does sound annoying.

            Yup, and it’s on what was a mid-line laptop from 3 years ago. Only just started recently.

            At home I use a thinkpad that I got 2nd hand 10 years back, and it feels like warp speed by comparison.
