I hope MS looks at the thousands of blogs going on about the f**&% networking issues with Win7 has. Home networking is a nightmare if trying to hook up to other non Win7 computers (xpSP3 etc) Why havent they learnt anything about making it easy? Im not novice at this, but its been now over one week and I still can not get my 3 other home computers share the internet connetion through the win7 machine. It took over a week to even get them to talk to each other. The MS guys C++ blood group swirling around in their heads make them think everone is a bits engineer.
WHY dont they test these systems by pulling some reasonable adept computer savy people of the street and see how long it takes them to configure a home network??? I guarantee very few will get it in a few hours if they try networking Win7 with XP etc. My way of thinking is if it takes over 15min , then its to complicated. If anything this task is many times mroe difficult than doing it on winxp.
Lastly. Why is it my Ubuntu 8 machine able to picked up all computersas soon as I opened up network places,and without hundreds of hours stuffing around?? I hope MS are noticing all these blogs.
