Windows 7 is a great new OS by Microsoft. 64-Bit disk was corrupt but they sent a new one and it worked great.

The primary complaint with things Microsoft are their word processors. But of course as a writer, the word processor is THE most important part of any software package you buy. It is the entire reason for the computer. Unfortunately word processing software products have been going down hill for the last 20 years. The old Word Perfect was nearly ideal, but since Microsoft bought out Word Perfect and started going their own way they have done all they could to destroy word processing. This latest edition of Microsoft Word that comes with the Home and Business software is the worst of the bunch. For example, all publishing houses and literary agents prefer that materials sent to them be in 12-point type and Times New Roman font. Well, this piece of junk is set at a default of 11-point type and some god awful font. And, no matter how many times you change it to 12-point and Times New Roman it will always revert back to the default setting–even while you are still working on the same document.
Another trick it does is to double space your lines–even though the setting says single space. Microsoft Word has deteriorated to a total piece of junk because the nerds who design these things hate writers and have done everything they could possibly do to make it more difficult for you. So, if you do end up purchasing a Microsoft system, you will need to look into finding your own word processing software from other sources.

No more blue screens – it just recovers from a serious error and reboots. I get random unannounced reboots also. This on a new quadcore Dell desktop(2009 that came with Vista installed and Windows 7 followed a month later). This OS is as unstable as XP & Vista when going from sleep to awake. It is very unstable if you recklessly run crappy software like Microsoft Office 2007, especially Outlook. About half the time, Outlook hangs up shutdown as it will not completely shut itself down. I never shutdown until I have manually stopped each program that is running on my desktop – and that is not good enough. 90% of my use involves Microsoft Office suite 2007 and Microsoft’s internet explorer. I also use Quickbooks and Turbo Tax without problems. When problems are encountered, Microsoft searches for solutions – never found one yet! Do not upgrade any operating system from the one that came on your computer. My next computer will have an apple on it – I am sick of spending so much time chasing problems, waiting on reboots, and maintenance.

So far I have no gripes about windows 7 in general, although I hate what they’ve done to the media player, or “media center” as it’s now called. Out are the simple to navigate view panes that made media player my go-to music player. IN is a graphic heavy display that looks pretty at first glance but one quickly learns is bulky to navigate and use. Oh yeah, and there’s the fact that half of my 7,000 + file music collection imported with artist and album “unknown” – after several attempts. I don’t have the time to sort out what little bug the media player is hung up on. My tags worked fine in the old media player, and I’m finding they work fine in itunes and every other free player I try. Why would I bother to sort out the mess when I can just use Media Monkey instead? (I would use itunes if it weren’t such a hog – freezing and crashing on my PC). Sorry windows, you’ve over-engineered yourselves right into the trash heap as far as I’m concerned.
