I'm looking forward to the Wireless network changes and the IE Add-On Manager.

I'm looking forward to Windows Firewall and the pop-up blocker in IE. Unfortunatly once that pop-up blocker becomes standard, the type of ads it blocks will become obsolete, and will evolve into a new (and even more annoying) form of ad placement.

The default blocking of dangerous attachments in Outlook Express was already done with anybody who updated to Outlook Express 6. It confused a lot of people. I got a lot of calls from people who couldn't open their attachments, and had to talk them through reconfiguring their security settings. I see a lot of phone calls in my future.

The Security Center looks nice as well.

For all you tired of popup adds, there has been a faster, more stream-lined browser out for years that has a built in plop-up blocker.

Mozilla

Thank you, come again.

EDIT: Did I mention that it is free?

Ditto.

And did I mention it doesn't suck like Mozilla?

How exactly does mozilla suck? IE is cumbersome, slow, and Microsoft. The less MS crap I use, the happier I am.

92MB worth of updates.

Wonder just how many of those conflicts (like the one mentioned for MS CRM) will be found.
