Windows 7 - or how to make your life miserable

Don't know about you guys, but i'm starting to hate W7. Who the hell was the brainiac that put a security for Admin control. If i wanted someone else to be my admin i would have put him myself. It's my computer and if i want to blow it, i will with no remorse.
To start from beginning:
1. New PC + W7 uninstalled
2. Got up the W7... all good.
4. User - me Admin
3. Update required = OK, let's do it.
4. Restart PC
5. Ups... what u want to use the file... sorry ask for permission right from Admin. Ugh ... hello I'm the admin...what? So now i have to give myself admin rights...
6. Sorry.. u cannot install you don't have admin permission..
7. Boot in safe mode
8. Take ownership of C
9. Play with account settings (maybe i got them twisted ...noo all OK)
10. Restart W7
11. Request Permission
12. Force take over C ownership, delete the system Admin ( witch the W7 makes it by default)
13. Yey it works ... Security center Alert...

Do i need to go on?

It seems that the guys from Microsoft not only forces u to get the god damn pc with the W7 ( the other XP, vista etc are not available anymore to buy... deh W7 costs more), but they also consider themselves Admins on your pc ( i would have been ok with this god damn feature if it would actually help...But nooo).

Also, If you don't have Office ( which BTW now u can only buy 2007 and 2010) and u need email u are screwed. W7 does not come with default email, u have to go and take one from online W Live mail. And of course for the idiots that had Office outlook in the past and want their emails back, thought luck. W Live does not support pst files (ps: their own formats ). The support recommends you to save the files from your outlook in a supported format for W Live.. So before u instal W7, do a s\change o files for the emails to be recognized by W live... Yes.. Of course everybody does that... That's why the forums are full of annoyed people that would try almost anything to get their emails on again).

So, my friends, think twice before you migrate from Office outlook 2003-2007  to W live mail, and the W7 with Admin restriction.. IT sucks.
