Seems like the 7 board has been overrun with refugees from XP!!
OK, XPeople, listen up! For best results with 7:
0. Run a memory checker and your hard disk drive manufacturer's diagnostic to make
sure these two components are error-free.
1. DO NOT install 7 on your computer without checking your hardware and driver compatibilty.
2. DO NOT install any programs until you have checked the program publisher's website
to see if the program is compatible with 7.
3. DO NOT come in here bitching that you can't access a certain folder in your profile.
The folder names you can't access are there only as pointers for backward compatibility.
Get over it.
4. DO NOT turn off User Account Control. Microsoft implemented User Account Control
to save you from yourselves, because you people were running 91% of your XP computers
with a Computer Administrator account, which is what turned XP into a malware magnet.
UAC is responsible for the Vista platform having 70% less susceptibilty to malware
than XP, so SUCK IT UP and get used to it, for your own good.
That's it...you may now return to your regularly scheduled upgrade. :-)
