A complete redesign of the look & feel in Vista with a fancy Aero.
Yet, we're still stuck with a shitty Environment Variable Display like this:
(My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables):
To add to the insult, the popup is not resizable. Your only option is to double click on the entry:

Wow. Now that's better: I just have to scroll the cursor left and right like a retard trying to find C:\Cygwin\Bin or whatever I'm looking for. No wait, I can't scroll left with the mouse cause the cursor flies at a speed of around 2 megapixels per second, which makes it totally impossible for me to see anything.
I'm stuck using my keyboard holding the left key, not to mention that ctrl-left and doesn't work as it's supposed to cause it won't stop at a semi-colon delimiter.
Good thing we have tools like these to fix this mess by Microsoft, but is it just me or that's a trivially flawed dialog that longs for a redesign?
Next Target: Matlab

Fuck yeah! I just ran into this at work today. We were installing PostgreSQL and had to set some environment variables on the Windows test machine.
