Today, 00:00 CET, Vista will be on sale here in The Netherlands; some computer shops will even be open tonight to cater to the early adopters. In all honesty, I do not think we will see Windows 95-like craziness, but still, I think a simple poll is in order. What is the feature in Windows Vista you have been looking forward to the most?

True, it also should make development alot quicker and better still, the application more 'future proof' in regards to running applications on future Windows operating system.
Its just appauling, however, that Microsoft hasn't pushed the fact to ISV's that if they port their applications to .NET *NOW* it will future proof their applications, possibly, for the next 5-10 years; and that they would no longer have to worry about the win32 ugly bits which cause problems during development.

Speaking of .NET, can anyone tell me how much of .NET you can use from IronPython? .NET has intrigued me for quite a while, but I'm in love with Python. If I could write full Windows apps with System.Windows.Forms or Avalon in Python, methinks I would be in Windows developer heaven.

Not interesting from a user's perspective, but interesting from a developer's perspective.
This does make programming for Windows much more attractaive.
