The Universal Church of Cosmic Uncertainty has some things to say about Soble's '10 things advanced users need in Longhorn'.

Advanced users? Like what? People who know most of their letters?10 things advanced users need in Longhorn.
My Longhorn Blog: The 10 things advanced users need in Longhorn.
A bit controversial, perhaps, but I want a better experience for advanced users (and beginners too!) What do you think?
By the way, if you are an advanced user using Windows XP, this list (and instructions for turning on these features) might prove useful.
I have to agree here. First off, all of the items on the Scoble's list are personal preference type things. Not everyone wants things at the highest resolution. Screen saver? I want it on by default and requiring a password. And changing the filesystem so that you only need a single click instead of a double is horrible. I played around with that option in Windows at one point and it just did not make things easier. Also, double-clicking helps ensure that you run what you want to. It's very easy to just click someplace wrong and suddenly be running something you didn't intend to.
