Looking forward to Windows 8, what Microsoft missed in Windows 7, Part 5 | Windows 7 News

The problem with Windows 7 is that, in many areas, it was rushed. Microsoft did not take a holistic approach to developing the operating system, it’s features and it’s interface.

I’ve spoken before about Libraries being an excellent example of this. You can add folders to libraries, even on Homegroup connected PCs, but why can’t you filter those folder by content type, or have a library of all your Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) files? This is a very annoying omission and one that makes the otherwise excellent Libraries feature much less useful than Microsoft would like it to be.
