I had to reinstall W7 on my Vista->W7 upgrade yesterday. I had two major issues with W7 upgrade that just had me perplexed.

First, the native indexing function was dead. Which is a shame because I use it extensively in Outlook to search for old emails. I tried everything I could find on the net to rebuild/repair the index to no avail.

Second, Windows Explorer views were all sorts of hosed. It would list the file type and modified date for the contents of the folder, but none of the filenames. If you adjust the view, it would stay fixed for a while, and then go right back to the hosed version. And it would do this in any application dialog involving the file system.

Pain in the ass.

Put the W7 disc in my drive, did a fresh install, and half hour later, had a fully functioning W7 instance again. I did not have to reload all my mgmt apps because I keep those in a VM on a different drive, so after reloading VMware Workstation, I was back up and running.

I love VMware. Seriously. Their shit is awesome.

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it is understood.
He’s there just to take good care of me,
Like he’s one of the family.

Charles in Charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in Charge
Of our wrongs and our rights

And I sing, I want,
I want Charge in Charge of me.

Charles is a bit of a dominating slaving masochist it seems. That naughty naughty Charles.

Anthropologists two hundred years from now will watch TV from my lifetime and wonder what the hell was up with their ancestors.
