Windows 7 is better at suspend/resume than any previous Windows, but it still 
loses its shares randomly doing that, and needs rebooting.

Win7 has enough problems that I'm forced to keep my old WinXP machine operating:

1. can't run 16 bit programs

2. still sometimes fails when in a tight loop creating and deleting an exe file, 
even though disabling Defender helps a lot

3. erratic issues with sharing directories. Sharing was simple with XP - one 
click to share, another to unshare. Win7 has a maze of dialog boxes and 
alternate ways of doing it, some work, some don't, and no feedback on whether it 
works or not.
