Judging by the amount of posts on this topic, it appears that a lot of
thought has gone into buying this new computer. I hope the time spent
was worth it.

Ah, good for you. It's not that hard really. Just sometimes Microsoft
has a tendency to move the furniture around in Windows, everything is
still there, but in a different place than before.

I like the phrase. Nice and concise, paints the picture.

But it begs the question: "Why dey do dat?".

Just one user... maybe a few man hours or (in my case) days.

But a corporation with ten, twenty thousand users? That adds up
to big money.

Don't know, Microsoft might say that they do that because they got some
big scientific study that says users prefer this control or that control
in a different location than it is now. But I suspect the real answer is
that they get bored and decide to redecorate, just like real people.

You may consider to use WET (windows easy transfer) and PickMeApp: two free solutions to migrate from XP to Windows 7. WET may transfer your XP settings to Win 7 while portable PickMeApp tool may transfer programs from XP to Windows 7. PickMeApp claims to support unlimited number of programs.

Hello to all! Finally my over 10-1/2 year old Dell desktop's extreme
slowness has seriously gotten on my nerves and I am now looking for a new
one. (Surprisingly, it is working pretty well otherwise...)

Maybe this is not the right forum? But beside the usual things like RAM and
HD GBs, are there things I should be sure to have...or be careful NOT to
have on a desktop? After n ot looking into computers for over a decade I
feel like a Martian in the Earth. lol!

Also, is it possible to transfer to the new one ALL my stuff, including
programs, etc.? Do you think a dummy like me could do it???

Thanks so much for any suggestions! ) Adela
