And I already have a few ideas for them to include in it. For starters, they should make it easier to import a list of Address Book names into their Windows Mail client. And stop trying to make it all things to all users. Remember the acronym 'KISS' - Keep It Simple Stupid. We'd be happy with a mail program that just worked without an hour's struggle to get all the bits arranged properly. Another tweak that they could add would be one that would periodically and automatically dump the Windows\Temp folder's contents, and also those of the Prefetch folder, which is automatically rebuilt on each reboot, but builds up an accumulation of junk that you may only use once, and don't need every time it starts.
Most of us don't have a hell of a great need for that Windows.old folder that gets saved from a previous incarnation of Windows when you re-install your operating system. That can amount to several megabytes of wasted space on the drive, and can safely be dumped. Preferably, not saved in the first place. If we really wanted our old Windows stuff, then we wouldn't have coughed up the bucks for latest version, would we?
And why did some of us wait so long to switch? Elementary, my dear Watson: The test version was an Ultimate version, with all the bells and whistles, whereas this retail one is a stripped-down 'Joe Lunchbucket' version of the whole thing, with only the parts that might appeal to the vast majority of the unwashed and underpaid masses. Need I say more?
