Help. New Computer. Windows 7. Dear God, Somebody Kill Me.

[Gravdigr]

OK. Got new puter. Lived with Windows 7 for a week. Want to die. I cannot believe windows7 is such a turd of an OS. Seems like every program has umpteen windows, and EVERY SINGLE WINDOW HAS A DIFFERENT CONTEXT MENU. I almost gave up relearning Windows Media Player.

Really, though, the most recent thing to drive me from the room cussing Bill Gates at the top of my lungs (no kidding) is the fact that I cannot have an animated .gif desktop background. Oh, I can has .gif. But not animated.

Does anyone know how to go about this? Animated .gifs will only play in Explorer. Any other way and you get a still image.

I cannot find words to express how absolutely dumbfounded I am at the lack of functionality in Win 7. I tried to install printer software, and Win 7 immediately told me it 'has issues' with this software and the printer will not function correctly unless I download some driver helper from the manufacturer. Did it. The helper won't install, and the printer, so far, has printed just exactly like it did on the last computer, which means perfectly fine.

The 'file', 'edit', 'help' bar at the top of every program/browser I have ever seen, simply does not exist in sooo many programs.

Windows 7 is a GIANT step backwards. Windows ME is a gold standard compared to 7.

I wonder what's next from Microsoft? Back to text-based commands? Take away the mouse? Stone tablets and a chisel? You'll have to download a hammer. Hope it installs like it's supposed to...What a turd.
