"Libraries" sounds a very confusing name. w00t a new calculator, they must be getting desperate if that's all they can find to write about!

It has MC (memory clear), MR (memory recall), M+ (memory plus), M- (memory minus) and MS. I don't even know what MS does, but I bet it's good. Maybe it's Micro Soft. It also has Square Root and Reciprocal. Awesome! This new calculator is the best reason I have ever seen to run Windows.

Come on Microsoft, there’s no need to rename that stuff all the time. Um, hasn't it been called 'My Documents' since like Windows 98? What are you talking about? What's with all the cynicism? When you have no real humor, go for the safe (read: boring, predictable) MS dig, eh fellas? In any case, I'm actually a huge fan of putting more Ribbon everywhere. It's honestly a GUI revolution from MS that really helps with the discovery of features. I've done so much more stuff with documents that I created in Office 2007 that I hadn't even dreamed of (but probably could still do) in 2003. That addition alone makes it pretty attractive to me. Actually all the things you list (even the nicer calculator to a very small extent) are good. We'll see if they have driver issues ironed out by launch this time around. - My Documents will be called Libraries? Come on Microsoft, there’s no need to rename that stuff all the time.

(OT: Plenty of people I work with still forget that their computers are clocks, calculators, and dvd players. ) Do you think that MS will encourage the extensive insider blogging and sneak previews that happened with Vista? Any consensus on whether that open approach contributed to the perception that Vista isn't the upgrade we've all been looking for? CG Fancier calculator, LOL!

I was disappointed to find the default software like Wordpad pretty much unchanged, like it has been since Windows 9x era. I don't use Windows, but I know a lot of Windows users who still use Wordpad, Paint, and the like believe it or not. Wow, Microsoft may actually be updating the software included with Windows?
