I think Windows 7 stinks. Quite frankly, I hate it with a passion. My reasons are that quite a few of the programs that I had previously running on XP do not run on Windows 7. e.g. Roxio Creator 2009, Microsoft Office 2007. When I emailed Roxio several times for support, both in the US and by telephone in Australia I was told that "young people are always wanting the NEWEST things" and that "you will be left behind!" Did anyone else realise that there was a race or is it just me who missed the starting gun? I just want my previously VERY EXPENSIVE software to work on successive versions of windows. The US Roxio people suggested that I should be aware that there were 2 other versions of Roxio Creator put on the market after 2009 and they were compatible with Windows 7. The only trouble is that when I purchased my 2009 version on 24 August 2009 the sales assistant must have forgotten to tell me that the program was already obsolete when I handed over my AUD $165.00 for it. That meant that Roxio already knew that 4 months after my purchase it would be dead on the new operating systems that had already been released by Microsoft, but still they still continued to sell them to the Australian market. My dear old mum used to say that cheats never prosper...she has been proved correct in the past...I hope her words come true sooner rather than later for these people. With the economies in both our countries not looking the best, maybe we won't have to wait long to find out. I do not have a large disposable income and in future I will not be purchasing any more programs. I can always go to the local library and use their computers, mine has become a "non-essential" since all of this "cash milking exercise." Wildbillwallace
