i like 2007 better, but now we have to learn how to navigate the options as they have completely changed the look...

i agree with you there...the GUI isn't everything, but then again on 2003 i don't like the "draw here" box whenever you select something, annoys the hell out of me :/
...there used to be a signature here :)

is there anyway (besides selecting another drawing object before drawing a new one) to get rid of that box?

RE: Software for a new computer
[b]I would Suggest You To Install These Stuff;

Security;

1) A Good Antivirus ( Depending On Your Specs ) I Would Recommend Kaspersky, Windows Live One Care Or Avg Professional

2) If You are Using IE7 Download IE Pro, Which gives you a huge number of various functions and block every ad and it is the most professional addon for IE and FREE :)

3) Advanced WIndows Care = To Keep Your COmputer Optimized, Fast Enough, With No problem :)

4) You Can Use Tune Up Utilities 2008 Instead of Advanced Windows Care which actually gives out more function

5) You Can Have CCleaner To clean your computer from Little Spywares, Ads In just a basic mode not in advanced like above.

For Media;

1) I would recommend you to use Winamp to play like Music

2) Install a codec pack not to have issues with Different kind of media types. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack For Xp And Vista Codec Pack For Vista

For Office;

1) Install Office 2007, The Best One :) If You cant afford it Try to install The Openoffice Freebie Software. The benefit of 2007 is it looks awesome much more simple the way it looks is stylish and it just includes everything you need to have. It doesnt look as boring as 2007 in contrast It is awesome :)

For Internet Browsers;

1) I Love Internet Explorer Within the registry tricks I've Made and With the addon Internet Explorer Pro...
But You can go for Apple Safari Which is a cool browser tho doesnt look really good as good as it i in Mac
I would recommend you to go for Mozilla Firefox If you are an Anti IE Person as well. It is customizable, Skinnable, Very Cool feautres on it, Faster than the stock IE :)

This is pretty much Most things you might want to have on your computer to enjoy :)[/b]

don't. only install codecs you need, such as the xvid codec, etc.
