My colleague Jason Perlow has been playing with Windows 7, and he hates it. The sad thing is, all the things he hates are improvements, in my opinion, which just goes to show that you really can’t please everyone. But what’s sad to see is that every setting Jason describes as broken is in fact easily customizable so it works the way he wants it.

He used search for finding and running everything. That is a huge usability LOSS. No novice is going to do that and "experts" are going to be quickly annoyed with that.

Actually, no, he gave non-search solutions to everything, in addition to search solutions. And search is not a usability loss. I expect many novices to use search intuitively, and as an expert I can tell you that I'm not annoyed with using it. I find it a tremendous productivity gain, and suspect most experts that give it a fair chance would agree. No, the only issue is that people don't like change, plain and simple.

I really hope MS is reading this before they make another dud. They have so much potential still, I'd hate to see this happen...
