I&#39;ve spent much of the day configuring my Windows 7 set-up. Yes, the installation went very smoothly but there&#39;s all the applications to reinstall and reconfigure to behave how I like them (which is rarely how the designers default them). I&#39;m most of the way there! Missing having a &#39;quick launch&#39; task bar (W7 is massively wasteful of lateral taskbar space, even with icons at their smallest) but other than that I can see the benefits in terms of speed of boot-up.  <i>Edit: Thanks to Darko for pointing me in the direction of &#39;quick launch&#39; which I&#39;ve now set up with all my frequently used applications, while saving about 50% of taskbar space.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>So anyway, all that meant little time for taking photos until this evening, which in turn means that the camera turned to the pond.
