Win 7 has the same problem as Vista. Too often you will not find features that were in XP. In some cases they were moved, renamed, and otherwise hidden. In other cases they are utterly missing. For example, the Explorer Options File Type tab is gone. Some of its features are elsewhere, good luck finding them, but the consensus on the internet is that Microsoft removed the NEW feature from the OS.

I used it to clone a windows 7 disk and it worked flawlessly. Plug new disk into spare internal cable, clone, update bios to boot from cloned disk and it does. Yahoo! The documentation for this feature was good enough for me to succeed on the first attempt.

The instructions in the box are inadequate. The trick is that after activating it on one device you have to log in to your account and download it from there to additional devices. You do not activate it for each device. The activation screen has an option for if you have already activated the device. If you notice it, you can try that route. However, it asked for my email and phone number and found no account, apparently their bug because when I went to norton.

This is a slow and tedious way to learn a language and I am running on Win7 with an i7 processor and 8 gigs of memory so it is the program, not my machine. It slowly reads a lot of short old tired videos from the CD. The product appears to be a recycled jumble of mostly old language disks. Two are more modern and move at a reasonable pace. Some disks require installing programs such as Flash, and Quick Time.

There is more to dislike than to like about 0ffice 2010. I started using the free Open Office and find it an easier transition than using office 2010 and Open Office runs on other operating systems. Microsoft has moved so many features that your muscle memory developed over years of using previous versions of office is now useless. It takes me twice as long to do anything because of searching for features that I know exist and used to know how to find.

A few years ago Norton was slower than garden slug so I switched to another brand. Symantec fixed the problem and the newer releases work at a reasonable speed.

Upgrading is causing me to have to buy new Adobe products. Several expensive programs that ran under XP no longer run under 7 in XP compatibility mode. XP compatibility is pretty much useless with products like Illustrator. Companies balked at buying new software so Microsoft made a virtual XP environment (XPM) for them but not for Windows Home Premium. We homebodies don’t have any clout with the Microsoft monopoly.

I have been using Windows 7 for over a month now. (Received an early copy) I must admit the upgrade experience is a hassle but once you install Windows 7 you will be pleasantly surprised. I recommend a clean install for all users. Windows 7 has a noticeably snappier boot time than Windows Vista. What users will notice most are the changes to the interface. It took some time to get adjust new taskbar but once I became familiar with the new interface, I found it to be an improvement over previous Windows versions.

Here is a note before I start off on the detailed review: I noticed another review which complained about his computer being very slow after installing McAfee antivirus - even I did noticed the slowness but that was only on the second day, maybe McAfee is trying to do some additional scanning or something like that, after 1 or 2 days, the system will be normalnnAntivirus software market is very mature - both the market leaders in Antivirus - McAfee and Norton/Symantec offer equally good virus updates and protection.

It works well - it removed a trojan from my old Year 2007 Celeron Laptop and they claim that they keep their virus signature updated. My only grip is with the performance. My old laptop was running Kaspersky (Free edition) and the performance impact was acceptable, but the moment I installed Avira - it slowed down things. Another thing which I did not like is the fact that they updated my browser home page and installed a toolbar.
