Whaa? Monday, August 15, 2005 at 5:04 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by miffy900 (97 messages posted) You seem to be disregarding all the other new features inside Windows Vista. Heres my short list: XML based UI exposition standard: XAML Windows Communication Subsystem (Indigo, based on ASP.NET web services asmx standards) Windows Presentation Foundation (Avalon) Slick new graphical rendering engine Incorporated RSS support(finally, I say) To-be-added-later WinFS API exposition through .NET Framwork (WinFX) Dropping of the 'my' prefix on folders (about time) MSH (probably not really good, since its not going to be fully implemented in Windows Vista, but the concept is a welcome one; probably the first time MS properly implemented another concept from UNIX) 3D Support in Avalon Faster installation (based on WinPE) Faster startup times (hopefully on the final release anyway) XPS (Metro document standard, most likely a PDF clone though) Built in DVD burning with Mt Rainer support (much better than the XP counterpart) In addition to that, WinFS, Avalon and Indigo will be backported to Windows XP, so people won't have to buy Windows Vista to get most of its benefits.
