Windows 7 is no more intrusive than Vista. And yes there were some optimizations done (and one big 'fix' with the video driver that caused the same information to be stored in local memory too often). Windows 7 IS Vista, just a bit more refined version of it.

I like Windows 7, I skipped Vista for obvious reasons of intrusiveness and being resource heavy.

The thing I dislike most about the task bar, which is a change from Vista, is the way things stack. I also find myself occasionally forgetting to right-click on say Windows Explorer or IE (yes I use it, yes I have FF, et al installed), etc. to get a new window as opposed to a list of currently running windows.

I too don't like this, why not just have the classic setup like XP, I would be happier with that. Sometimes I really don't like the bottom task bar.

It is an application? Yes. Then it requires resources.

The Start Menu and Explorer can be returned to the XP format via a plug-in called ClassicShell, but it's just one more program running eating resources for nothing. Does it take resources? I am not sure on that one.

And this is a good tip.

If you want even less than go to "change when these messages appear" and move the slide bar all the way to the bottom.
