Windows 7 is weird.....

[switch842]

Working on getting the new laptop all set up. Windows 7 is very, very odd. It'll definitely take some getting used to. No opinion yet on good or bad, just still weird. The no icons on the desktop thing is very strange. And I have 2 HDs (woot!) and a quad core (quadruple woot!), so that adds stuff into the mix. Quad Core = major awesomeness!! Current laptop is only single core. So, trying to work in Photoshop while listening to music in Media Player was pretty much an exercise in futility. Now I can do that with no problems! LOL Oh, and speaking of, I have now been updated to PS CS4 as hubby no longer had the files for version 7 that I am currently using.

So, yeah. Got Chrome installed. Getting that configured. Will get Firefox set next. Installing that just in case I decide to go back to it from Chrome. There's still some things with Chrome that I'm not liking too much. So, we'll see....

Oooh, SHINY! Quad-core is made of win. I have 4 cores in my old PC, but because it's only running XP Pro which is 32-bit, it can't utilize them all correctly. Windows 7 is 64-bit so it can. Maybe I should buy a copy of Windows 7 for that sucker and it might actually run properly, LOL. Currently, it's got 4 cores and 4GB of RAM and it has trouble starting up without freezing. But I know what you mean, it takes a bit of getting used to. My new lappy has Windows 7 and I don't know what I'm doing with it half the time, LOL.

The start menu is just so weird. And the taskbar. I'm not sure I like it...
