"All promised features were cut from Vista." This is a commonly heard complaint about Windows Vista on the internet. While there certainly is a lot to complain about when it comes to Windows Vista, the mythical 'cancelled features' certainly is not one of them. Let me explain why.

How many of those features though are incredibly important - WinFS, the same thing can be accomplished already. I remember there was an interview a while back with Bill Gates regarding searching, but the idea he floated was more an eventual aim rather than an actual product announcement; if you were wondering, it was the idea of a natural language search - "find me all documents written before 16 December" (for example).
Regarding performance - I installed it on my Toshiba laptop (PSAA9A-0CU004) and its performance was subpar; running on a HP dv6209tx (Windows Vista Business Edition) which had a Core 2 vs. the Core (32bit) which the Toshiba had, provided an improvement - even so, I never felt as comfortable as I do with this Mac.
Back ontopic, like I said, the 'features' dropped weren't exactly all that important in the grand scheme of things when compared to what was included.
