quick search function-instantly finds files and folders. I think this makes up for some of its sloppy
organization.

visual window selection- allows for a more human friendly selection.

Let me be brutally honest in saying that other operating systems have been able to do this for the last 3-4 years, this isn't a new feature and merely something Microsoft have picked up late. Look up Spotlight, Beagle, Tracker, Compiz, Beryl and Quartz, that's effectively what Vista copied.
