Please explain to me how XP is better than 7, seriously, when I go from 7 back to XP, I feel like I did going from XP back to Windows 95. It feels like a HUGE technological step backwards for me now.

Compared to XP, 7 has:

  1. Faster program launch
  2. Better utilization of multi-core processors
  3. Much superior built in multimedia functions
  4. Better DirectX performance
  5. MUCH more intuitive and faster search function built in, capable of federated searches of external web based services
  6. More intuitive navigation due to the application based (instead of window based) taskbar
  7. Easier multitasking by way of taskbar organization, Aero Peek, and multitouch capabilities (the first OS to have this)
  8. Better memory usage than Vista, comprable memory usage to XP
  9. Better out-of-the-box driver support than XP
  10. Simpler hardware & printer installation
  11. Simpler, more intuitive network setup
  12. Better, more customizeable organization of data via Libraries (virtual folders that can aggregate external sources)
  13. Better stability than XP or Vista
  14. Better security than XP, without UAC being as intrusive as on Vista

Just a quick list.

15. The ability to encode video on the fly as its being transfered from a camera?

(That was one cool feature I heard about)

yet... it's slower by 20% slow on directx and 80% on opengl games.

oh if you don't play games, there is competition, kde 4.3 it's beautiful, and ubuntu is fast and got everything u just mentioned.

also the ability  to run multiple desktop and even be managed by animations.

sadly openoffice it's progressing slow, and it really needs it own version of photoshop.

i can't wait for google OS! finally linux will get support...i won't have to pay the apple tax on my next  notebook purchase.
