I avoided vista for similar reasons of not wanting to be alienated, but when I installed the win 7 beta I loved it instantly.
The most visible feature: No more ridiculous searching through the start bar. Everything was just windows-key + some string + enter
windows-key "sub" enter = sublime text is opened
windows-key "ch" enter = chrome is opened
windows-key "control" enter = control panel is opened
Going back to windows XP after using Windows 7 was a nightmare. It felt so unusable.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoShould point out that the Win8 start screen still has the behavior, even though the search bar isn't visible at first.
- jasomill 14y agoOne change is that it groups results. In particular, hit Windows-W if you're specifically searching for a setting.
