What do I want from Vista?
To begin with, I want much better integration with peripherals and with devices that communicate, like PocketPCs. They will have to scrap the Synchronize tools that never seemed to work and have all the really important applications available in cut-down but finctional versions for phones and other devices, communicating painlessly back into the main CPU.
And what about built-in security through use of the keyboard. Let the system identify me by the way I type, the pauses I always put in and so on. When I am tired and becoming inaccurate, let's have the operating system prompt me for a coffee, or jump to a special Playlist or maybe even parade a little image of a bed across the screen?
I want Vista to become more a part of me, to learn from what I do and how I do it, not the other way around.
How achievable and how realistic ... hmmm. We'll see.
