I came across this article<\/a> today in the news from V3.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. ‘Available networks’ tool on taskbar<\/strong> — already present in OS X, works great! It was called Internet Connect<\/a>, but now is just part of the Network pane in System Preferences.<\/li>\n
  2. Fewer annoying pop-ups<\/strong> — true we get a bouncing dock icon if you want it; but pop-ups aren’t standard.<\/li>\n
  3. HomeGroup<\/strong> — oh yeah, I think we call that Bonjour<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. Device Stage<\/strong> — sounds like more work, OS X launches the program and gets ready to work.<\/li>\n
  5. BitLocker support for removable storage<\/strong> — Now, for businesses<\/a>, this has promise.\u00a0 Home users get nothing from what I understand.\u00a0 There is FileVault<\/a>; however if you want whole drive encryption, you can get tools like TrueCrypt<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Speedier boot-up<\/strong> — yeah, that is working . . . my MacBook<\/a> was still faster booting OS X than it was booting Windows 7.<\/li>\n
  7. Libraries<\/strong> — copycat?\u00a0 Yeah, *Nix systems have been using this model for some time now.<\/li>\n
  8. User Account Control is less in-your-face<\/strong> — about time!!!<\/li>\n
  9. Multi-touch<\/strong> — okay, this is only available on the iPhone<\/a>, iPod Touch<\/a>, and ModBooks<\/a>; we are still waiting for Apple to release a NetBook<\/a> or Tablet PC<\/a> that will blow our socks off.<\/li>\n
  10. It’s not Windows Vista<\/strong> — yeah, we never thought we would see something more busted up than Windows ME<\/a>; but that has come & now they are ‘getting it right’.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Commentary added.<\/p>\n
