I have a slight problem with reviewers like this who turn off all the new
features, and then go on to complain that there's nothing new in the
product. In my exprience it sometimes takes a while for new features to
start making sense, as you learn how to use them conveniently - so if you
turn them off right from the get go, you'll never "get" them. I
know it has happened to me: for example the new start menu in XP seemed
totally obnoxious at first, but then it sort of grew on to me and now I
actually like it because I know how to use it (pin and unpin are handy and
quick).
