These changes should help a lot with that.

Personally I'm looking forward to the new UIs, the Win95 way of doing things wasn't very good to start with, and it hasn't improved with age IMO.
I work for a college and I don't think they will be ready for this for at least 2-3 years. They just upgraded to Xp/ Off2003 in the fall 05. Now, for me personally, I have a question: I'm happy with XP -it's stable, I haven't been hit by viruses or shut down by spyware. Should I continue with XP for as long as possible, or should I start upgrading my system to 64bit/2mbRAM, etc. etc. How long do you think I can hold off?
