RE: Windows 7 Build 7000 Control Panel 2 (User Interface Transition from Windows XP to Windows 7)

To get the run command just hold down the windows key and press R. Nice and easy. No Clicking necessary. It seems to me that the changes to the UI are geared toward making the operating system less intrusive. Less crap on the screen means more room for what I'm working on. And the keyboard shortcuts have been around for years. I find it laughable that there are people on these boards who call themselves "power users" yet they complain about how hard the new windows is to use. How many "power users" do you know that can't figure out a UI for an OS that is "designed for idiots" (your words, not mine). So things are a changin. It's not about mundane tasks anymore. It's about entertainment. People want to have fun with their computers. One good reason that Vista and 7 are better: 64-bits. I like to multitask. I need more than 3GB of RAM. Oh and let's not forget installing drivers. I used to HATE installing drivers. When I first got Vista, I wanted to use a USB MIDI controller keyboard with it. So I plugged it in, and turned it on, and looked in my closet for the manual. So a minute or so later I finally dug it up and walked back to my computer... only to be pleasantly surprised by a little message coming off of my system tray that said "Your device is installed and ready to use." After that, I was hooked. Oh and btw, it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to disable UAC the first time I used Vista. Beat that "power users" :-p
