"With [the Win95] release, Apple was tested - and they failed miserably. Not only did I warn Apple to take 95 more seriously, I also accurately forecast the massive decline that would happen to them if they didn't do just that. The MS platform has changed dramatically and it is much greater than just the operating system these days. Apple, on the other hand, hasn't advanced nearly as much but they are predominantly consumer-based today and less vulnerable to this comparative weakness as a result. Just like the last time, they will largely leverage hardware this time, and, as before, they will be up against companies with resources that eclipse their own."

Nothng ground-breaking? How about WinFS (which goes so far beyond Spotlight and the like).
How about, finally, the ability to run remote apps w/o having to go to the TS desktop first, and running the entire Remote Desktop client software.
This is just 2 things.
As for slow adoption, who cares? I for one will run it, as it is a nice upgrade to XP, even beta 1 has some pretty slick stuff that XP can not do (The shells handling of meta data is my favorite thing).
If there is nothing ground-breaking, and it's a yawn, why do you even bother to not only click on the article, but also comment on it?

Windows Vista? Yawn... Windows 95 release was more exciting than that. From user perspective there is absolutely no reason to upgrade unless you really want to exercise your hardware, Vista will have even slower adoption rates than XP. As a server platform, there is nothing groundbreaking either. It looks like Windows will continue suffering against Linux on server end and hopefully on the desktop pretty soon as well. Nothing to see here, move along people...
