Coming out of XP on my home PC to Windows 7 has been a joy. A little learning curve but all around much better. I put it on the family PC last week and my 7 year old has had no issues with getting used to it and neither has my wife who while she knows how to use a PC I would classify her as an ave

What's different to you about Explorer that you think will have adoption issues? My main travel laptop has Win7 on it and I am comparing it to my WS08 workstation and it seems roughly the same? There are some extra root node odds and ends that I haven't looked at at-all on the tree but seems fun
