Favourite feature of Windows 7 so far...

You can also use Win+Space for that.
Ah! Thanks for that! Another reason to not touch the mouse.

"...There's not even any decent snow to cover the grey and make things brighter..." That's because most of the snow fell south of your southern border. I'm fairly certain the good folks around Washington DC would be happy to send some white stuff your way. Truck loads, even. It even snowed, albeit briefly, in Florida. :cool:
Yet another sign of global warming.

Um........... no. If snow, ice and sub-zero wind chills were signs of warming, then logically I should be able to chill a macaroni salad in the oven. :)

Did I forget the sarcasm mark again? Sorry.

Ah, more victims of illiterate literalization :(( ! One of the signs of global warming is escalation of climate instability, like 49 of the 50 US States suddenly having snow at one time, after several years of winters, across "the South" in particular, when there was no freeze. Just wait--more signs of global warming will be armadillo roadkill in Chicago, and Scotland turning into the Yukon...

Erm it just works, and without pestering me every five minutes for some security check* *Yes, I pre-order Vista before it came out, yes I'm bitter. :)

Seems like one could attribute any weather (or in some cases seismic) phenomenom to global warming. It's a little like religion. Besides, if all the global warming hype is real, I'm not afraid of it. I in the North East US, and not too close to the shore. I'm ready to plant my orange grove on my newly-aquired ocean side property.

i like that the 'show desktop' button has been reduced to a tiny rectangle in the lower-right side of the taskbar. no really, i do. you can just throw your mouse down and to the right, then click. it's almost a gesture, now.

Just my preference but I find it easier to press Windows+D.

Dragging windows to the side in order to have them dock left/right and take up exactly half the screen. I'm on 2 screens at the office which is great, then at home I'm on one big screen that can now act as two split screens easily. Runner up: that totally cool, totally ridiculous thing where you grab a window with the mouse, shake it, and all the other windows minimise.

I love the fact that my Windows 7 laptop connects effortlessly to my wireless router with its hidden SSID. The opposite of Vista where I would have to continually refresh the list of available connections until it finally stumbled upon the router.

Mate. Spare me. I'll have a Mill St. or a Sleemans, or if I'm snowboarding and have hit my head too many times then a Kokanee Gold, but that's about it for the stuff over here.

Mmmm - the Sleeman's mutli-flavour pack - my favourite.

Great thread Chris, I took note of all of them and sent them to my home email address! Work PC is sadly still XP... *sigh* :thumbsup:

Yeah? Mine's still W2K!! :mad: We're almost getting ready to move to Vista as a company! Be happy with what you've got!

I have found a decent coffee place though. And yes, soy decaf latte free. It's a flat-white and cuppucino only joint. You'd approve of it if they sold beer as well.
Moosehead or Labatte Blue?
