Is there something for me?

I, during years, hated the way M$ improved the DOS GUI (the command prompt). Win3.11/NT3.51
GUI is nice for me, but Win98 introduced the Web GUI, Web applications, and other
stupid stuff. Win95 was good for nothing. Win98: stupid. WinME: hell. Win2k: Very
good under the hood, but it would be better without IE 5.0. WinXP: aaaargh. WinVista:
what is useful? is WinVi useful for me? NOO. NO NEW TECHNOLOGIES UNDER THE HOOD!
The same kernel, the same Win32/64 layer, the same IE (7.0), BOB behind the files,...
nothing good for me! I like OSes that don't give priority to the GUI! This is getting
annoying!

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.
