I'm frustrated with the dissapointing security. Most of the cool new security aren't in the Home Premium or Basic editions. The new stuff could easily fit in a simple service pack, and doesn't need to be tauted as this amazing leap forward and require a whole new platform. $200 is a lot to spend on a service pack. Most of the other new software, such as the Gadgets (you mean Widgets?), Vista Explorer (a carbon copy of OS X Finder, which is years old), Windows Calender (the same as the years old iCal, but missing group calendars with WebDAV), and Start Menu Search (still lagging behind Spotlight). I'll bet you all quite a bit that when the next platform of Windows comes out, it will feature applications similar to Leopard's Time Machine, Multiple Desktops, and Spotlight. I'm still a little frustrated that I have to work on a Windows running machine at work. The only real benifits would be the randomizing memory address usage function, or using a USB memory stick as additional RAM.

Meh.
