Are there any gaping flaws in Windows 7 that have been discovered so far? What do you guys think of it as an OS?
whs said:As for icon size, when you are on the desktop, hold 'ctrl' and scroll your mouse wheel to fine tune the size.
I like Windows 7 except for the 'superbar' which I hate. Everything that used to take me 1 click (like un-minimizing firefox, un-minimizing a conversation etc) takes 2 clicks. And there is no default to change it back like in Vista. Also I can't ever tell what folders I have open because they are all minimized into 1 icon.
Other than technicalities like the above, I have never had a problem with Windows. But if you have Vista you probably won't notice a difference as they are basically the same.
I have never noticed any bugs, had any "UAC problems", or any of the sort.
logickills said:The UAC problem was a bug that was only noticeable if you were writing exploit code for it. So if you aren't proficient in userland debugging or anything of the sort you may not find those kind of bugs.

Jeff Reid said:At several gaming oriented forums, there are complaints about UAC interfering with game install and setup for internet play with Vista. Apparently, it's mostly an annoyance, as I don't recall someone getting stuck, once they had instructions on how to get around the UAC issues. I assume Windows 7 will have the same issue between games and UAC? Since I only have a small sampling of games and gaming forums (most racing games), are there any known recent (last 5 years) games that won't run under Windows 7?

Some of the main advantages of Windows 7 include its user-friendly interface, improved performance and stability, compatibility with a wide range of software and hardware, and a variety of customization options.
While Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft, it can still be a viable option for certain use cases such as running legacy software or for those who prefer its interface over newer versions. However, it is important to note that using an unsupported operating system can pose security risks.
One of the main drawbacks of Windows 7 is that it is no longer supported by Microsoft, meaning it will not receive security updates and may become vulnerable to cyber threats. Additionally, it may not be compatible with newer software and hardware, and its performance may not be as efficient as newer operating systems.
Yes, it is possible to upgrade from Windows 7 to a newer version such as Windows 10. However, it is recommended to check the system requirements and compatibility of your hardware and software before upgrading to ensure a smooth transition.
Yes, there are several alternative operating systems to Windows 7 such as MacOS, Linux, and Chrome OS. Each of these options has its own set of pros and cons, so it is important to research and consider your specific needs before deciding on an alternative to Windows 7.
