Dissapointing
You know the big problem with Windows (and probably all of microsoft products) is that they tend to build on top of the previous version. Its like your bedroom wall if it had bugs on it and holes in it, then trying to fix it by slathering it with some fresh paint, it doesnt change the fundamental problem.I was hoping with the plague of issues raised in Vista that the next version would start by stripping it down to its core, throwing out the baggage and rebuilding it lean and mean. But i fear for this version if its just vista with 'new features' and a tweaked user interface.
