David Gerard writes "Remember the good old days of the 1990s, when you could teardrop attack any Windows user who'd annoyed you and bluescreen them? Microsoft reintroduces this popular feature in Windows 7, courtesy the rewritten TCP/IP and SMB2 stacks. Well done, guys! Another one for the Windows 7 Drinking Game."

- Shiny-new interface.
- No annoying "are you sure" popups every 30 seconds like Vista.
- Can run on a 1 gigabyte machine without slowing to a crawl.
It simply wasn't possible for Microsoft to make such a great perfect OS without including a flaw.

Or to be more apt (for slashdot)... some people prefer Ford, some prefer Dodge, others still prefer Toyota. Gas is better for some applications, while Diesel is better for others, while electric is better for others.
When a new car line comes out, new defects are to be expected on occasion. Sometimes there are even defects present that were fixed in previous models.
