Problems with Windows 7
Though there are a few problems with Windows 7 that users may have to deal with occasionally, this still remains a very stable operating system. With the changes that Microsoft has made to this OS, it is the true successor of Windows XP.
Windows 7 is the leading operating system distributed by Microsoft today, and it was released to the world less than 3 years after the release of the terribly slow and memory heavy Windows Vista. This is not to say that there are no problems with Windows 7 to deal with, every computer operating system has their own issues, but Microsoft has finally come out with a stable system since their legendary Windows XP OS.
Windows 7 started selling worldwide by October, 2009, and introduced a whole host of new features to the Windows using world. Users of Windows Vista will be well aware of the toll the OS took on the memory of the machine, and how the tasty looking aero-graphics made one's PC unbearably slow. Windows 7 has none of these issues to deal with, but as with all other computer programs and structures, this OS too has its own share of problems to contend with.
Problems with Windows 7
Here are some problems that have been repeatedly reported by Windows 7 users.
Some of these problems have very easy solutions, whereas some require a detailed check by a computer repair shop.

Problems with Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 are bound to occur from time to time, and there is not much that one can do in order to fix this. This article on Internet Explorer 8 problems with Windows 7 will shed more light on this particular problem.

For the record: I use Mac's and I use PC's for both personal and professional purposes.
I fail to see the value to trying to beat up on either platform.
The computing world is what it is, and over time the differences between systems is narrowing.
So be it.
