Then lemonade lady, how would you explain "her" brand new laptop computer with Win7 preinstalled, that has no mouse or other external device connected to it, with a cursor that still jerks, jumps, twiggles, and drifts when nobody is even close to the computer, much less in contact with the touch pad that's the ONLY pointer control active?

An additional "feature" of Win7 appears to be that when the cursor hovers over an icon for a couple of seconds the popout menu - or the application - opens without the need to "click" so the &%^$@!! thing sits there with the pointer fluttering around opening popouts and programs at random until its little brain gets stuffed and it dies.

(I'm very impressed with this new technology. It must be intended for those who think that lots of blinking and flashing means they're "using a computer.")
