Message:: [QUOTE="Wiley-X, post: 1029194, member: 27808"]What kind of hardware doesn't Win 7 have drivers for?  Did you manage to find a motherboard with ISA slots?  Or a VESA video card slot? When I bought my new motherboard three years ago, I was forced to give up all of my ISA hardware. :-(  However, Win 7 still has drivers for my 1992 vintage HP LJ4 printer as well as my aging HP scanner. My biggest problem with Win 7 is that my favorite game (Cue Club, a billiards game) doesn't run, even in XP compatibility mode and it won't run on a virtual machine because the virtual machine has a goofy video driver. Oh yeah, there's the other problem that when I dusted off my Visual Basic disk to write a little program, it won't run on Win 7 and neither will any of the old programs that I wrote in Visual Basic. Oh, two more problems.   They really screwed up the search function in Windows.  It used to be pretty powerful.  Search for "abcd" in a*.doc with text boxes for each option.  I understand that you can do complex searches but you need to know the syntax.  This is like going back to Unix and searching with grep. Other little things like the changes in Media Player bother me or the confusing (to me at least) changes to the mixer for sound.  Other than those irksome things, Windows may finally be where it should have been ten years ago.[/QUOTE]
