One thing I love about Linux is the user folders such as Pictures, Videos, Documents all being one click away.  With Vista Microsoft finally has figured it out.  Windows 7 is even better.  What I love about Windows 7's favorites folders feature is it allows you to click an icon and go straight to your documents, pictures or video folders and it doesn't just show you one folder.  You can link up multiple folders to each icon.  So if you click on your "Videos" icon for example, you can see your default videos folder and any other video folders that you have including ones you have in your usb drives.  Screenshot below.
