I know it has been said a thousand times, but every single feature that was illustrated (bar the collaboration stuff) looked like a direct translation of things in OS X. Surely (surely?) there are some new features in Vista that are going to up the ante somewhat? Can we please see a demo of such things? Please note that I'm not trying to blame the messenger here, but those five pages were distinctly underwhelming.

  As a Mac user I have to admit that some of the features described did look pretty cool. Personnally, I'd really like to see the collaborative tool in OS X as well as that looks like it would have application in some of the markets that Macs inhabit. While stuff like the sidebar and saved searches were introduced last year in Tiger, the collaborative stuff is new and I'd really like to try that myself. For the sake of interoperability, I'd like to see Mac and Linux versions of this application as well...
