What's holding us back? The monopolies? That doesn't explain why Unix is hardly any more advanced than Windows.
A topic on /b/ was joking about how you can rename a .doc filetype to .jpg and it will automatically be converted. Why isn't this so? Why hasn't Longhorn incorporated this? This is one of the SIMPLEST features that could have such a huge impact on ease of use.
But how is it that programs today have no more capabilities than those of 1995? When is this going to change?
