New

I'm all for new features, but a GUI is not among the items on my list. That has been the problem with the last few versions, too much emphasis on appearance, and not enough in making what is there work properly. other than that the primary objective of a new OS should be new functional features. I really don't enjoy paying for a new OS to find few new features, but a lot of GUI and shell changes that force me to do things a new way to accomplish the same result.
Sometimes, I get the feeling that MS's primary goal in development is to give the feeling of improvement, but to spread out real improvements to dangle on a stick like a carrot before the mule, so that everyone keeps tugging along.
