No, I feel like this thing is treating me like an idiot. I right click on
the desktop to change the wallpaper or some other desktop property and it's
like having to wait thru a deliberately long voice mail greeting to do even
the simplest function.

I had to change control panel to classic view because after 20 minutes of
looking I couldn't find half the stuff thats in there.

I turned off windows defender by disabling the service (is there no
uninstall for this crap?) and now I get a message at startup about a
service that failed.

I had to disable terminal services because I have no desire to allow anyone
remote access, same for the support option and a couple other places where
I just felt the features were unsafe.

I set it to large fonts because I'm going blind and the stupid thing
changed my desktop icon size, I then changed it back but it still insists
on using large icon spacing.

I wanted to move the recycle bin to the lower right corner but the stupid
clock gaget blocks that whole side of the screen so now it sits about 1/8
of the way across my screen...

Yeah, so far I have found no new features that make even one of these
annoyances worth tollerating.

Oh, and Microsoft Mail is Outlook Express by a different name. Only thing
I've noticed in this is that they shaded one of the columns in the list of
emails window (the subject is shaded for some stupid reason)
