Oooh, I can has desktop. And Your Momma jokes. How odd.

So: Install took *for fucking ever* and had multiple 20+ minute waits, at least one of which was a crash and it only fixed when I yanked the power and rebooted. For the rest, they mostly just lacked progress bars. I am *not* impressed, but I accept that this might be partially due to the fact that my machine is Weird Fucking Shit as far as desktops go.

So far, the desktop looks like Vista. Which is a bad sign, but not unexpected. Am running "Experience Index" score now.

EDIT: Rebooting was very quick and very spiffy. Didn't listen to me when I told it FUCK OFF NO SOUNDS, but got past that quickly!

Like I said, I only used it for a week or two, and that was a couple years ago. I'd like to give you specifics but I can barely remember yesterday, much less some OS ages ago. But from what I do remember...

But generally, using XP as my baseline, the XP -> Vista transition was extremely turbulent from a usability perspective. Things just felt different to be arbitrarily different. When I went from XP -> 7, there were differences between the two, sure, but most of it felt intuitive as an XP user.

I'm hardly an MS lover (there's a working activation crack out now, by the way...) but I'm satisfied with 7. It sucks it's not going the same for you, but hopefully you'll be able to get used to it eventually.
