how about a list of the bugs it doesn't fix, like the file copy bug

actually I suspect this particular bug will be a difficult nut to crack, as I further suspect that in Vista, file copying operations are intimately tied to DRM operations, so the contents of every file moved or copied is examined for a DRM signature regardless of the files apparent type, and further that this is done on every copy or move operation regardless of how often that particular file has been scanned before, I wonder if Microsoft would care to confirm or deny this

after all can you think of another reason why an apparently simple file transfer, to a USB disk or network share, might take such a long time and not be fixed in the first service pack
