fresh install of windows 7 is far better IMO than even Ubuntu. There are just way too many apps that Ubuntu installs (most useless) during installation. Excuse me but I think you are complaining just for the heck of it. You don't have to restart every time if you don't want to. When I plug in new usb stick, it says "installing drivers", how is that confusing? Yeah if you would like to know the name of the drivers as well, then W7 is not for you. You don't like the ribbon? Microsoft is not making w7 for every individual. Most people like it (at least in my cirle) and that's what counts. Microsoft has done more usability studies than you can think of. I agree with the package manager but with the amount of applications that are available for windows, I am not sure how would they implement it but you are right they should have some appstore kinda thing. I feel sorry that you had to go through this. But W7 is still a great OS and installation experience is one of the best.
