Travis, I have a long way to go, but I have generally been able to work through problems with varying amounts of effort and help from search engines. Things have pretty much flipped 180 from the days when Windows just worked and Linux was a nightmare to install.

You want tough? :) I have now poked around enough to see that they have worked _really_ hard to completely screw up the explorer. They've flipped the meaning of the open and explore commands; it's no big deal, but it's pointless. Where there were once scroll bars, one now has to hover with the mouse and somehow will the hidden pixels into view: maybe they were thinking of charging extra for that feature as a Ouija board simulator. I realize that I am expecting too much from a first service pack, but it seems sad to watch the system go into (minor) hysterics when faced with a flash drive in a USB port. The mouse cursor went nuts, and it seems to think it has several such drives connected (it does not) making it a fun exercise to figure out which of the devices to stop. Overall, it's worse than I expected, and THAT'S saying something. I might play around more tomorrow, but that noise you hear is a drive getting ready to be reformatted.
