lol, thats not what I meant. I meant in windows 7, sometimes things are sticking.
If your talking about Explorer, I find it happens after I wake it up from sleep or hibernation.

Windows 98 = updated Win95
Windows XP = updated 2000
Windows 7 = updated Vista
but they're basing Windows 7 off of Vista which was a failure at launch and is still an irritant to many of us today.
I put 7 on my laptop again just now and it resulted in me downloading and burning Ubuntu 64-bit.
I really can't use it, I don't like the new taskbar, icons! Are you kidding me? Okay, just for argument's sake, what happens if I run an app that doesn't have an icon or am debugging several apps with no icons? Do I have to click through each one? Leave the text alone Microsoft, most computers users are literate.
Way to not customize it at all. I think it's a stupid default option but it takes few clicks to get it the way you want it. It's not like Ubuntu comes pre-done the way you want it either.
If I had to customize everything(on a conscious level), I would be extremely unhappy. Right, I am just saying that it's stupid to default... Ubuntu doesn't come made to my liking but at least I can pick it up, open the Package Manager, find my IDE or Wine to start plugging away. I can get done what I need with little frustration. But look at it from this perspective, a nonprofit organization is beating a company whose CEO has a net worth of $58 billion. Really all I am saying is that they need to step it up and quit relying on their market share so they can exist. Making stupid shiny icons doesn't impress me, being able to see what is going on in a matter of seconds impresses me, it's all about speed, simplicity, and usability not looks. Looks may be a plus but it's not the top priority.
And I know your thinking "Oh, but you're a Mac user heh." At least Apple can do it with a good speed:interface ratio, their visual effects don't take all the CPU cycles.
Still no mentions of how much the theyre going to charge for a copy windows 7
why wont microsoft tell us yet how much its going to be? surely they have a figure in mind? usualy a big one.
It would be cool if they give beta testers a discount to upgrade.
Yeah i agree,especialy since we are helping them out finding bugs,problems etc.
But this is microsoft were talking about,Its all about the money not its customers.
