Its perfect for a netbook.

Anyone know how I get the minimise all apps button back on the taskbar? I used to love getting to my desktop quickly ...

Ive seen the option somewhere..... but I cant find it now

I got miffed not being able to find it again so googled.... didn;t find what you wanted...

but did find this... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/add-the-quick-launch-bar-to-the-taskbar-in-windows-7/

adds the old xp style quick launch bar to the taskbar....  I just did it.... and by default the show desktop button was there.... so ill dumped the one next to the clock when i find the option !

Shake A window to get rid of all OR.
To the right of the time you got that small box. Hover over it and all windows go to glass view or clicking it will minimize them all.
They just moved it into a better position with new abilities tacked on too. GREAT

Love it more and more as I get used to things. Small things like defragging more then one drive at a time tickles me, It is a lot faster at it by a mile too.

anyone know where i can get the old (vista) windows mail from ?  (not the live one)

I loved outlook express... but cant get/use than in vista/7

windows mail was the next best thing...... hate windows mail live (I moved over to thunderbird to get away from it).... but I don;t like tunderbird much either

Thunderbird!

Thunderbird sucks ass

outlook express rocked !!!

EDIT:

infact, sucks ass doesnt do it justice I fricking hate it, only slightly less that this sh*tty windoes live mail that seven came with, and I really ****** hate than


I dont care about it looking pretty, sorting out spam, or any of the other crap it can do, I just want to check my email... and for it to run as fast as possible

the first thing I do whenever I re-install is spend an hour going though every possible option and turning everyhting off, making it look as simple as possible, making menues appear instantly instead of all that scroll out bollocks.... my windows 7 looks exactly like win98.... and thats exactly how i like it

I not know what Thunderbird you use but mine is even simpler then Outlook and easier to use right out of the box with the added bonus of addons so I can tie it with google calendars and more, AND if I Fancy make it look like anything from outlook to apples Mail.

Posting from w7 as I am trying it out (installed with virtual box in Ubuntuntu Jaunty).

Seems better than vista for sure

I am just playing with it, I run Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on my machine and lappy now and am very happy with it

I see Apple had to have a dig at it at the developers conference over old technologies.  

I absolutely love the new take bar.  Im launching recent documents from it all the time.

I cant believe how quickly I am booted up with outlook on my domain every morning.  I seriously went and boiled the kettle with Vista.

Apples Snow Leopard is cool, looked at it and thought - yeah, get that for my macbook pro. But I also saw the price. Their updates normally $129 ish but now only $29. Compared to Win7 After quite a bit of use it is nice but not a patch on it I think and I think they looked at that and new this and slashed the price big style to get people to buy it.
