- ID3v2 is supported throughout the OS (in WiMP 8.0 as well as in the Explorer shell). To edit an MP3's information, pull up its properties and flip to the Summary tab.
- You can store / save your current Theme to the My Documents folder. Send the niftier ones to your friends! On the surface, this feature appears to be backwards compatible with classic Desktop Themes.
- I think I've rebooted this computer less than ten times, yet XP's boot process (from BIOS to desktop) is faster than it's ever been. Let me time the sucker. Hold on - this should only take a minute. I take that back! It took me 45 seconds to get back up and running again.
- MSConfig is back, baby! Windows 2000 users will appreciate its return. Of course, X-Setup works just fine on XP, too.
- In folders designated for pictures, the Tasks pane will give you an option to print them. Choose your images, layout, printer, etc. If you have a photo printer, this is a spectacular feature. If you choose not to work with the Tasks pane, you can simply open an image in the Windows Viewer and "print" from there to get to the same wizard.
- You'd be surprised at how much alpha blending of icons improves the experience. No matter what wallpaper or background color you're using, they'll always look smooth. If you wanna XPify your icons, grab Microangelo.
- SNTP / NTP time synchronization is now built into the Date and Time applet. With it, you can connect to any Internet time server. Never miss a meeting again!
