Two things come to my mind.<p>1st is that it seems a bit early in Windows 7's life for Microsoft to start promoting vaporware for the next version. I would prefer to see WinFS finished. Or, at least, something that brought NTFS into current times.<p>And the second things is that waking up a computer on ambient movement/proximity sensor and using face recognition to... recognize the user seem a little bit too obvious to be patentable.
