Also the dumbing down of everything. The new control panel. Simple file sharing. I guess it doesn't bother me as much that they tried to abstract away some of the detail, but more that it seemed like they assume that normal people are too dumb to learn so they make the decisions that are "best" for you. More often than not, they made the wrong decision.
As someone who stopped using Windows as their primary platform prior to Vista, I like the "dumbing down" of the control panel. Icon view in Vista and 7 seems crazy with how many new icons they added compared to XP. I don't want to have to learn what each one does, so I just use the search box in the upper right. The plain english they went with to describe tasks that lead to a control panel works well IMHO. The mess it's all covering up is another story, but at least they are trying to simplify something.
