    Instead of actually improving things Microsoft latest OS will be a regurgitation of the same tired crap. Prettier interface, Wizards instead of fixing the underlying usibility issues, And loads of PR telling the masses that this is "The Best Windows Ever" No Thanks Microsoft

    So, no WinFS, no major security improvements, and you need an uber-machine just to run it. As TFA noted, there doesn't seem to be anything there that actually helps increase productivity.

    But hey, transparent windows!
