I hate when things are different from what they used to be, also I post on a forum telling people that I don't like when things are not exactly as they were.
Honestly, other than the color scheme, fonts, and pics I can't tell the difference.

Close your eyes while browsing AC....it stops any glare issues you may have....just sayin...

Honestly, I don't really know what anyone's talking about as far as it being too bright or too hard to see. This is what I see...is this what YOU see?
I don't see how it's hard to read. It looks very clear and crisp to me. The "whiteness" of it is not my favorite thing, but there are plenty of advantages to the upgrade, I am discovering. The menu for uploading pictures, for one thing, has a lot more options...I like that. I just discovered it now when I was uploading this screen capture.
Instead of going on and on about what's bad about the upgrade, why not try looking around and exploring the new features? At least one tiny new thing a day comes up for me that makes me like it better. For example, yesterday, I saw that the smiley menu now has the :description: under it, so you can learn how to type out that smiley more easily now. That's something I like!
I kind of get the feeling that some of you (not all of you) who don't like it think that complaining about it will get the mods to change it back. It's an upgrade in software to a newer version, so it's not gonna ever go back to how it was...I'm sure the upgrade was expensive, too!
I have lots of gripes about Windows 7. It bothers me, for example, that there are no more visible keyboard shortcuts (File, Edit, View, Favorites etc. are a thing of the past, I guess) that the "Games" folder cannot be removed (all you can do his hide the games, leaving you with a useless empty folder if you do not play games, I suppose Microsoft did not realize such people existed!) that often times certain operations are blocked, such as the ability to select multiple items using Shift+Arrow keys.
This is annoying...it bothers me that Windows 7 has taken away so much control from my OWN computer...but I'm not going to spend any time writing to Microsoft about it. It's not going to change, and I don't really care that much anyway
The point is, just learn to live with it, people. Also, complaining about the ads is pretty petty, considering you can block them with an add-on, and having to "put up with them" is the ONE thing that many of you do to support this site. (I don't buy AC merchandise either, so not like I am judging anyone on this.)

Actually, I think they have changed things and made it easier to read since Sunday when it was first rolled out. The index is still a bit scrunched up and not as easy to read as the old version, but it's better than it was (or I'm getting used to it). The upgrade did figure out how to circumvent AdBlockerPlus, hence my issue with the sudden appearance of ads on the side, but I've fixed that on my comp.
And once you get used to Windows 7 it's so awesome. It took me 20 min of using it to fall in love with it (coming from XP). :thumbsup:
