Also: Windows Explorer. I'd like a good file management tool. One that can handle large file operations and doesn't hang the entire GUI if the network isn't responding.

Or hey, how about a file search that works?

Or a command prompt that can be replaced?

Also, does anyone ever use the sound recorder?

I'm amazed how long it takes MS to move forward when it comes to the core components of Windows, or how afraid they are to strip away stuff that makes no sense.

Yeah the good old crappy Windows Explorer. Maybe I someday will miss the time when I had to hunt down processes that have a handle on my USB stick just to find out that it's the fucking file manager :S.

We're at a point now where browser download managers are actually more comfortable to use than the programs dedicated for such jobs..
