Not so much annoyances, but general; tips and tricks. Of course, many of these are now obsolete since the latest versions of the clusterfuck OS made it even more annoying and silly, but plenty of people will be running Windows 7 until it expires: it is perhaps, the least ridiculous of all versions.
