Well, there's just too many things to mention - a lot are small improvements but when you stack them all up, and then you go back to XP, then XP feels primitive. It's the best kind of proof that Vista is a very solid OS when you miss it.

What does it signify if the only thing I miss
is that file renaming thing - and only because I do a lot of bulk file renames but need to keep the extensions?
Most of the new things in Vista annoy me because they mess up what was working well enough in XP already - hence why I remove them and turn it into a slightly newer XP for all intents and purposes.
Not that I'm a Vista basher specifically - it's probably more that I'd just go back to Win98 if I could because that's what I learnt to use a PC with
