And another thing that quite frankly pissed me off about Windows 7 was the way you couldn't right click an application and chose 'Move' anymore.
Sometimes an application would have it's titel bar a little bit outside the edge of the monitor and you wouldn't be able to drag it anywhere because of it.
Some applications would 'snap' back into the area covered by the monitor when you resized it, but mostly they didn't.
with previous editions of windows you could right click on the application on the taskbar and then chose 'move' when this happened so you could move it to where you could drag it around...
But Windows 7 knows best, and it knows that you don't need to drag your applications around. You'd have to be a fool and a communist to want to do that.
And while on the subject of the taskbar. In previous versions of Windows, MSN messenger would get minimised nicely to the system tray. but in Windows 7 you get a nice big box on your task bar which just doesn't go away. Argh!
Sigh...

I liked Windows 2000. It was great.
Windows XP SP1 improved on all the good stuff, and I was happy with that.
Vista 32bit always seemed lukewarm to me and I ditched it, but Vista 64bit rocked and I liked it despite it's few faults.
Those faults were then exacerbated a 1000fold in Windows 7.
It's almost as if Microsoft asked itself: Hey, let's find all the really fcking annoying and broken things in Windows Vista and run with them...
Lets see if we can make something so rubbish that even our loyal followers will be turned away by this piece of pusfilled shit'...

Even Nurgle couldn't make something this vile...

It was a beautiful lovee affair while it lasted, but now I have been betrayed by those attempts at making home networking easier and simpler...
Even Windows 95 would've been easier to force into submission and get to access my NAS boxes...
Grrr.
Not to mention copying files. How the devil is it possible to screw something so simple up?
When I drag a bunch of files, whatever the hell possessed Microsoft to think that I want them to tell me whether there is space where I'm copying to? Morons!
They've even managed to break that wonderful little utility Robocopy. After Dragging and dropping became a joke in Vista (And Windows 7) it became a lifeline for anyone moving files around, but no, now that doesn't work properly either. Morons!

Sigh, if Ubuntu wasn't such a pig to get to work with two monitors, I'd give it a go, but it *is* an absolute swine, so back to XP I go...

Actually, here's a challenge for you OS communists. Suggest me a Linux distro that will happily run two monitors on a Nvidia 8800gtx card and a PNY Nvidia card on an out of the box install and I'll give give you little hippie commune a serious try...
