I mentioned the Win 7 crash that set me back in my work. Well, that's one thing, but the most annoying thing I'd point to is the file-deletion process. Delete a file, and up pops a progress box that sits there for entire seconds so Windows can congratulate itself for "recycling" the disk space. Entire seconds of self-congratulation to delete a 4kB file, I'm not kidding. Why why why.

Did you ever consider it may be your hardware?
