I am using Windows 7 for work for the first time this week. I've been stuck on XP forever ...
I like how if you install Outlook 2007 after installing Visual Studio 2008 that when you click the Toolbox in VS2008, you don't see a message that says "Initializing Toolbox" and then get a crash. I like that you don't have uninstall and re-install VS2008, a process that takes over 2 hours, to get it to work again after spending 4 hours googling for solutions.
I like how it sets Windows updates to reboot your computer at 3 am, and that the default power settings don't cause it to hibernate well before then causing it to never install updates. I also like that it doesn't nag you all gawdammed day when you start work in the morning, after those two features worked so well together.
I like how when you install the VS2008 Service Pack 1 that it doesn't wait until after you spent 30 minutes installing it to tell you that it can't install correctly without Administrator privileges, and that you don't have to run it again wasting another 30 minutes.
