I went to the Asus service centre yesterday to collect my free Windows 7 upgrade. The process was surprising fast and easy. The upgrading took a good 3-4 hours so if you are doing it plan to have a book or watch a movie or something. So after waiting for 4 hours, I finally got the windows 7 OS installed on my new laptop. Here comes the first problem. My Firefox now behaves strangely. The toolbar on the my website's CMS does not appear now. Sites start to browse funny and some don't even appear.

So I'm forced to use Internet Explorer (IE), which really sucked cos now I don't have my nice fancy add-ons. Not only that, the tab and new windows opening on IE is really bad. Sometimes it opens new links in a new window and sometimes in a new tab. After a while, I get so many windows of 3-4 tabs each, apparently Microsoft has missed the whole point of tab browsing. It's for people who like to browse many sites at once and don't want to be switching between windows to hunt for previous links. Now they've made it worse by making it a major treasure hunt. So everytime I want to switch between sites now I have to mouse down to the taskbar and use the new fancy preview. This is terrible. Wish I had my buggy Vista back. The OS may be buggy but I was doing fine with my Firefox. I installed chrome as a 3rd browser, hoping for better tab browsing experience but on Windows 7, Chrome is so slow... This is one major conspirarcy to get rid of the BETTER Firefox.
