I can understand that! Win ME was worse than Vista (if that's possible!(.
However, using both Linux and Windows 7 I can say that Win 7 is actually not
bad.

Does that mean that it has multiple desktops and that the drive
letters are gone?

Multiple desktops is more of a window manager issue rather than a OS
issue,

And what window manager does Windows use by default?

but anyway, people in Windows aren't as used to use different WMs
as people who use X in the UNIX world are.

There was a tool to add multiple desktops to Windows, part of the
Powertoys pack for Windows XP, but I don't know if it works with 7:

The powertoys page: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/windows-xp?T1=PT

And for some context: http://enwp.org/Virtual_desktop#Windows --
according to this, there's another tool, Desktops.

From its description, it seems Desktops is better than the powertoy, but
I never tried it.
