    The bluetooth can say that it concerns a lot of people ...
    When Desktop Search 4.0, I think many people do not even know it exists (and it is the search engine integrated with Vista), so then to think that there is an update to seek ...
    WDS 4.0 would be integrated with SP1, but they probably have not had time to do this, WDS4.0 being released almost at the same time as SP1
