What will be interesting is the underlying stuff...

I work in a shop with about 40 graphics designers who mainly use Macs, but some of the production work is also done on Windows. Some of my power users run into real problems with Windows that aren't evident in casual use, but still manage to cause problems. It would be nice if MS has managed to fix some of these in the new version of Windows.

Ever tried to read from a smudged CD or DVD? It basically locks up almost everything in Windows.

Ever tried to transfer thousands of files from directory or device to another? Windows hits some kind of limit that slows it to a crawl when the selection is over a couple of thousand files.

Ever tried to transfer thousands of files from a CD or DVD? Windows goes crazy, causing the optical drive to do thousands of unnecessary seeks and taking HOURS to transfer mere megabytes.

Disk maintenance and volume maintenance on Windows has not kept up with the expanding capacities. The tools available today were designed to manage disks sizes of 10 years ago, not the gigabyte monsters available today.
