18 cool things Windows 7 does that Vista doesn't

[Night Hawk]

you forgot the cool accessories ...real time magnifier, snipping tool and new stuff ;P

The snupping is also found in Vista there as well as on 7. Surprizingly a lot of people were never aware of it since they were looking mostly at the then new Aero themes and UAC introduced there.

There is one thing that Vista did that Windows 7 does not do.

It sucked.

It doesn't stink entirely when it's predacessor XP still continues to come up with new errors even after SP3! Vista's main problem was one word "bloat" while it stilled out to be a far more stable OS. It was a headache for a lot of gamers however.

What's with the Jump List thing? Is there an option to enable it or is it only on RTM?? I'm running 7077 build and I don't see any such animal.

The ISO burner is a great idea... No more Nero ROM burner...

at the moment I am erasing a DVD+RW using imgburn. It's icon on the taskbar acts like a progress bar in that the icon is gradually turning green (left to right) as the erase continues. It corresponds exactly to the percentage completed.

Not sure if this is controlled by imgburn or automatically done by W7. Gotta check if other programs also do this.

Burning also does this to the icon.

just double click on an iso and it will ask to burn it. Or insert a blank cd or dvd and one of the autoplay options will be 'burn iso to disk'.

Don't forget to mention that's an option in the right click menu you are pointing to there.

I'm curious, in Imgburn settings under Write tab do you have "lock volume exclusive access" checked? I'm not sure about 7 but I seem to remember under Vista the author if Imgburn strongly suggested disabling everything else that has to do with burning on the system to avoid interference. I'd be curious if you get an error with that option checked or not.
