    Win 7 is stellar compared to Win Vista, but its still shit. I have to use it from time to time, its getting slower and slower to load the desktop, i install my blackberry software on my login and then the other logins want to also install it (but it can't as the files don't exist in the location specified by the installer). The start menu is miles long, i have yet to find away to customise it to remove/group programs on it - maybe someone can point me to way to customise it
