its a great system and ceratianly makes vista look sicker than it already is

However......couple of issues i have found

.Internet explorer 8 from desktop first start (eg clicking on desktop shortcut) only opens up in minimum size.even after maxing it, the memory does not remember to open full each time i open the IE8

another thing is..i tried to reinstall IE8 onto the windows 7 but error message comes "unknown operating system"..so the only way you can install/uninstall is via the add/remove windows components option in control panal

other issue...no quick link facility next to start on task bar which means no "show desktop" link..it does have a glimpse desktop button to the far right of task bar..but its an awkward position there and has no position adjustment

anyone have any clues on remedies?

i am aware of the "pin to taskbar" option..however the icons are all exactly the same when place there ,so its hard to distinguish between menu icons.

one other thing


the network connection icon in task bar does not show traffic ..just a blank signal strength icon..i often look to that to observe what the network communication is doingh
