Hate to say it but Windows 7 sucks in my experience

I just have to say it, my Windows 7 experience has been less then great...
In fact its been horrid.
I have built my first computer just recently from the ground up with my own choices in hardware, nothing is defective and yet Windows 7 has been giving me nothing but issues.
I honestly dont see what is so great about it, its all flashy effects and unstable as all heck.
I have had no less then 20 bluescreens and that number counting by the day.
Many times 7 refuses to start properly, or starts but bluescreens off the bat, I have had issues updating as well and its been one headache after the next.
I dont get it, all this hype Microsoft gives to 7 and its no better then Vista on my machine, heck I rather have XP again with all the issues I have had.
I am beginning to wonder if paying the $140 I did on the OS is worth it, heck I have had more success with Linux then I ever did with Windows.
I use Ubuntu linux 10.10 and so far its crashed far less, had not nearly as many issues and works better in my opinion.
Windows the better OS?
Not to me.

Post a crash dump and somebody will check it out. Are your hardware choices all compatible with Windows 7? Have you updated the BIOS and all of the drivers from manufacturer's site? What do you have for antivirus AVG is known for problems. Maybe some of your hardware choices don't get along.

No I made a full hardware compatibility check, all anti virus software is installed and able to function (I am using clamwin) I updated the bios and everything...
It has been a nightmare in every sense of the word figuring this crap out.

Post a crash dump file so somebody can analyze it. They are usually pretty fast when they see one but it might be a little longer with the holiday.

Then WTF, go use Ubuntu. I have been using Windows 7 since the public beta, and it has never crashed on me. Not once. I dual-boot with Ubuntu as well, but prefer Windows - it is faster and cleaner. I like Maverick all right, but there are still rough edges.

Anyway instead of trolling and whining, post some real information, and perhaps someone will help you figure out what's going on.

When someone complains of Windows 7 being anything less than stellar, it means they have created their own issues and the instability is 100% their fault.

If you want me to fix your machine in one single post and make it perfect, go to C:\Windows\Minidump.

Copy the files in there to any other folder then zip them. Attach zip here along with the 2 screen shots asked for in my signature.

How is not favoring Windows 7 trolling?
I am just being honest in my opinion that for me Windows 7 is not as perfect as Microsoft makes it out to be.
As for any logs I can post, well I did a scan and nothing...
So 7 seems to be giving me gripes for no logical reason

Not "favoring" Windows 7 is not trolling. Coming on with "windows 7 sucks, ubuntu is better in my opinion", without providing any useful information, and then expecting someone to care - that is trolling and whining. If ubuntu is better in your opinion, why are you here? And, if you expect help, why not just ask for help, instead of putting down the OS that people here sort of think is pretty good? Why not just stick with ubuntu for that matter?



You could have just said "I am having this problem, can you help me solve it?"

Instead you had to say Windows 7 sucks. That, my friend, is trolling on a Windows 7 forum.

But you knew that.

IMAO Windows 7 is a great OS, I had some problems when I first booted, but they got ironed out by checking stuff and updating stuff. Windows 7 and my computer work fine.

if you wanna make ussumptions for software like this, Think about Windows ME and Windows Vista when they first came out, even being updated and patched they still have problems.

Microsoft got it right with Windows XP and Windows 7 first go, so that means that the 1st SP's for them were small

Its called having an opinion, am I not allowed to have an opinion?

Look I am not saying Ubuntu is perfect but as far as Windows 7 goes it has not been fun or any real improvement over what came before.
Its given me more errors then I can count, I only installed Windows 7 for basic gaming and playback of Netflix, I wanted to do something simple and even so Windows 7 has more errors for me then what I used before, even XP didnt give me this many gripes.

I have no real logs explaining to me what is wrong with Windows, if I did I would post them but I have done every scan imaginable...
Nothing.
My install went fine, I installed no malicious software to cause all this either.
I have used windows for over 10 years now so I should know what I am doing.
I have used every windows version between windows 95 to Vista and beyond.

Besides there are many people that come on Linux forums that say Linux sucks so I think I am sort of evening the score here, I have had a bad experience with Windows 7 and cant find any reason for it...
My hardware is comatible, all of it brand friggin new and windows 7 compliant...
So why am I having issues?
Something is not right here, but I cant say what it is.
