    As the title states, which feature would you like to have seen added to vista, but wasn't? I would like to have seen native support for multiple desktops, much like many of the linux distros have. I often have many windows open, often from the same application. The taskbar has the "group similar windows" option, which I personaly neither use or like, and the IE7 has the tabbed windows feature; but non of these quite compare to quickly switching the desktop.

            There is not much of any expectation. But I'd be happy if it runs existing software properly. When even installing and using VS2005 is a problem, one can very well imagine the useability of other software on Vista.

              I can't believe that so many people have such a diminished sense of humor... Well, maybe I can believe it, but I'm still surprised.
