With the launch of XP now a distant memory and Longhorn playing peek-a-boo from the far future, it's time to think about what we'd like to see in the next generation of desktop operating systems. If you listen to the marketing corps, you'll be told what you want: all sorts of tighter integration, .Net synergies, authentication and replication, XML smarts. But most of the things I'd like to see in Windows are plain and simple, wouldn't require phalanxes of PhDs to implement, and would make my daily life so much nicer.
