It sounds pretty neat that they're changing their graphics engine to use larger graphics and shrinking them to account for disabled individuals. Wonder if that sorta stuff requires a restart or not? All I heard about before was the new 'universal' file system and improved security. Which, ironically, usually has a lot of bugs until a few patches are released. With the file system, Microsoft decided it would be impossible to include with their targeted launch date.
