no i don't.

i haven't really used it much, but dragging files between explorer panes
sometimes copied files, sometimes made aliases and sometimes moved them.
you still see devices with ugly names.  by default you can't windowshade.
every window has a menubar in it (and sometimes a toolbar or five).

i'm sure real ui people have a longer list, but those things actually
affect me.  i like long windows since i tend to skim text quickly, i
like actions to be predictable and except for a joyous year and a half
back in 1992/3 with a 21" monitor i've always had dinky screens.
