Although I might be FOSS advocade, I still use Windows for a good portion of my work. I have not even managed switch from Windows XP to Vista and yet, some features new to Vista wont be included in Windows 7. Here are some of the features removed from Windows 7.
This is a real joke to me – the real reason why people stayed with Windows XP instead of migrating to Vista was that Vista confused them. While Vista had a lot of new navigation, the core principle of Start menu and Taskbar remained very similar or identical with Windows XP. I see a similarity with the taskbar of KDE (or however is its “taskbar” called), especially in the new 4 version.
I admit I did not study these in depth. However, I liked the Windows Photo Gallery quite a lot and I guessed it was only renamed to Live version.
I actually appreciate this one as it was clearly a step backwards. Windows Sidebar navigation is not really usable.
