F&@#> you, Microsoft!

[wiseheart]

Microsoft has just kindly informed me that they're going to stop supporting XP, starting with April. Now I'll have to get Windows 7 installed, and I'm really, really pissed.

Not that I can't use that crap... well, mostly. I can and I do at work, cause I have no other choice. But I hate, hate, HATE their incredibly confusing, useless Word programme. And the fact that you can't have any of the former normal, soothing colours on your screen. All colours have this eye-watering, shrill quality. God, I hate that they always change things for the worse.

That's very unfair. To be honest, I like Windows 7. I have a photo of a poppy as desktop and pale blue as the colour scheme. I use the free Word2010 starter Windows 8, though I utterly HATE!

I hate blue; especially Windows blue. It kills my eyes. In XP, I still can get a soft brown and brick red background, but it doesn't seem to exist in W7.

I think you can change the colours under Windows colour in the control panel.
