""It's a big deal" for Microsoft, not for Windows users."

That's it and that's all. Period.

"It would have been a big deal if it had been delivered on time with the promised feature pack intact. 2-3 years late with the majority of the vapor evaporated "it's a busted flush"."

THe only way it would have been a big deal is if WinFS came along with it. But now it will be just a big dump.
