Nailezs, I agree with you completely. I was just tossing some ideas out there for people to chew on. I've always thought the General Software section was a complete mess, even though I guess it works just fine as it is. The OCD side of me wants to get it organized and streamlined so it flows better, especially when you look at how the rest of the forum is laid out. Everything else makes perfect sense, then you hit "General Software" and it's just a cluster of everything and anything that can possibly relate to software that isn't covered in the other software subsections (Games / Linux / OSX / Programming). So you end up with people that actually have Windows related issues tossed in with threads about 3DMark, people chatting about webapps / search engines / "the cloud", Windows 7 release threads, picture / video editing apps, and then threads covering the plethora of other software people use (anti-virus, defraggers, disk cleanup tools, Office suites, benchmarking apps, system monitoring apps, etc.) all in one section.
I know it would be incredibly time consuming to organize everything already in the index into a new system and then have mods keep track of new threads and where they're supposed to go, so the reality of the situation doesn't look that good. Maybe we can run a little experiment by adding just a Windows 7 subsection in anticipation of the release? Even though there are plenty of threads about 7 since the RC and RTM have been out for a while, there's still a lot of people who aren't going to take the plunge until Oct 22nd. 7 seems like it is going to be a really smooth launch, but that doesn't mean people aren't going to be making plenty of threads about it once it's released.
