Love Child - Windows 7

So far I've been using Windows 7 for less than 24 hours. It's as though iGoogle and OS X had a child. I haven't even had time to really go through of all of the tweaking and I'm finding it more difficult than I thought I would to get it set up the way I want it. I think when you boot it for the first time, it should have a big button that says, "Old School" and you click it so that it reverts to the previous OS at least long enough for you to get it set up the way you want it. Everytime I go to tweak something it takes me more than 10 seconds to find it and that's just unacceptable.
There are some features that really rock though, like the view desktop mouse over on the lower right and the minmizing IE icon that shows the pages that you went to last. We had a hell of a time getting it online with the wireless for some reason that Jorma explained to me while I smiled and nodded and pretended to understand what in the hell he was talking about. I know it had the words Mac Address and router it in and other than that I just sort of looked interested while I tried to figure out if I should put the pepper jelly I'm making tomorrow in half pint or 4 ounce jars.

So far though I haven't installed anything on it. I have to get it set up with some software, (arr matey) that might get tricky so I'm waiting on that outcome before I start loving it.
