Have to say that I'm getting used to Windows 7's start bar, with the automatic list of regularly used programs and the textual search. It's not bad.

Was that in Vista? I reverted everything on my Vista box to look like XP as soon as I got it :P

getting along with it pretty well except for problems with a PCI soundcard that come down to the fact that it manages all the IRQs and multiplexes one of them into a meelion virtual IRQs, which is not acceptable with devices that need to be serviced pretty time-critically.

other than that, it's pretty good. I'm still acclimatising to the changes to the file explorer, but given that everything else worked well, I'm cutting it some slack and trying to adjust to it instead of just hacking a way to replace / revert it.

I turned off UAC immediately, then ran TweakVI to switch off alllllll the graphical shit and revert many menus and such to XP behaviour.

After which it was like XP, but with generally better hardware handling.

Pah, I turned everything off in XP to make it more like Win2K :D
