RE: If you love Windows XP, you'll hate Windows 7
I am with Jason all the way, I am literally sobbing in frustration, and I think that calling him antiquated is a huge overstatement. Background improvements are fine, but trying (unsuccessfully) to emulate apple is retarded. Has anyone successfully downgraded from win 7 to xp. Our computer died on Friday and now we're stuck with 7.
