Bouquet for Vista
Everyone seems to love knocking Windows Vista. However, I regularly find things about the operating system that just impress me. Today I changed my hard drive to a new one, and yes it made me reactivate the system *but* I was trying to think of what sort of utility I'd need to extend my 100G drive out to use all the 200G of space. To my surprise, I right-clicked the partition and it offered "Extend Volume" and even though it was a simple volume, it happily just extended it out for me. That was a pleasant surprise.
