Re: No new features for Windows 7...
Quite. MS adopted a policy part-way into the XP era of not slipping new features in with service packs and as far as I can see they've followed it quite religiously, introducing no new features with anything ever since. I would guess that the last new feature added to Win7 was Win7.
Memo to MS, a service pack with the last few years worth of patches rolled up would be nice.
