Hello, I'm new to the PC World Forums, and I upgraded from Vista to Win7 and liked a few features but wasn't overly impressed. I have two issues with Win7:

1.) Win7 really doesn't seem very different from Vista at all, maybe more like a service pack in my opinion.
2.) It broke my Linksys Wireless Print Hub, wouldn't connect on Win7, and it kept our two Vista laptops from connecting.

So, I restored my backup of Vista and back working again with printing.

One question: Does anyone know of any 3rd party add-ins to Vista that can give you some similar features as Win7? I specifically liked how Windows Explorer used Libraries, as well as windows snapping to the top or sides with the touch of a key. I won't be able to use Win7 until the Linksys Wireless printer issues are resolved, which I expect will be a long time.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and for taking the time to read my post!

This might help you do the "snap" thing:

See the first item in the article. I do not know if that is specifically what you are looking for or not.

Not sure about the libraries bit.
