Another one: if you double-click to launch an app that is already running,  
it open the running app, rather than launch a new copy of it.

And one for the other side: the DOS file system is speeded up a lot;  
however, it refuse to copy files to a DOS disk unless the filename is all  
lower case and matches DOS's 8.3 restriction.  I much preferred the 2.x  
behaviour.
