not here...you notice I mentioned the concept of bloatware in the newer M$ releases....

its pretty much the concensus that M$ still hasn't come up with anything really new since XP and hence are just adding bells and whistles to it...OK, the Vista and 7 do support more ram (I think....maybe that's just a 64 bit thing), but there is a bit of a workaround for XP that can help if one really wants...

supposedly vista has better audio capabilities (so M$ says) but I've seen that argued...of course comebacks to that argument say that devs just haven't taken advantage of the advantages of vista yet...dunno...

I for one have no plans on upgrading to vista or 7, if nothing else because my present machines are a bit out of date and would probably suffer if I loaded such a resource demanding OS on them...
