Please tell me I will not have to deal with burning forest fire as a background color to dialogs, as per the screenshots in that link? What idiot came up with that background? Marc
I'm not overthinking the problem, I just felt like I needed a small, unimportant, uninteresting rant! - Martin Hart Turner
Right, Marc. There are other pleasing background options like Green and gold fusion, fuschia and violet, Solid Magenta, etc., As a matter of fact, Windows 7 is highly customisable... That's what they want to show with that background. ;)

Ok, here's my setup at home: On the right, I'm running an old Core 2 Duo with XP... On the left, I'm running a brand new quad-core phenom II with crossfired radeons and all the good stuff... The new box was just upgraded last night from Vista to W7 (Had almost nothing installed, so a relatively-clean transition). Here's what I'm noticing so far... 1) The taskbar is weird, and I kinda miss my captions, but I'm giving it a chance. 2) Vista looked prettier. 3) It's a lot more stable than Vista 4) W7 is at least five times as fast as Vista, but still half the speed of XP, on much better hardware.

You can bring them back. It's somewhere on taskbar options. The only things you can't revert is the separation between task and quick launch items, and while you can split each instance of an app into a separate icon they remain next to each other in all circumstances.
