Windows don't open as fast. I can't run as many programs at one time. I have to force restart about once a week because it gets abysmally slow. And then there are the periodic pauses as the laptop tries to catch up to itself. I've seen apps freeze that could run quite nicely on a 200MHz CPU. W. T. F. ?

There seems to be something wrong with your new laptop. I installed Win 7 on an original Win XP laptop and I'm quite satisfied. I can't really say if it's faster, but it's not visibly slower and multitasking works as good as before...
