With Snow Leopard finally been given a release date and a price, the comparisons with Windows 7 are starting to pop up all over the place, especially focussing on the price aspect of things. While Apple's move to price Snow Leopard at 29 USD for Leopard owners is a very welcome one, the move doesn't mean that Microsoft is getting a price beating from Apple.

Try Explorer++. It's as close you can get as possible to the original XP Explorer and it uses the shell namespace so we get lots of post-XP benefits (new file copying engine, Previous versions etc) . Submit feature requests to its developer to clone the real Explorer. The shell team has been on a rampage since the beta 1 of Longhorn I remember it started becoming horrible since then. Now they've even spoiled some of the taskbar and Start menu functionality. Explorer++ also supports libraries/XML saved searches. Unfortunately, bits and pieces are not there like the original Explorer but it's less annoying and close to XP's Explorer. It's fast, free and supports tabs too.
Again most of the damage was done in that abomination called Vista (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_removed_from_Windows_Vista#Wi...), (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_removed_from_Windows_Vista#Wi...) and people still ask "What's wrong with Vista?) but the shell team was commited to pulling more functionality for sake of cleaning up the UI and simplicity. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_removed_from_Windows_7#Window...).
