Win2K came from NeXTStep?

What's the BZ#?  I'll vote for it.  I don't mind seeing OS X-specific 
additions as long as Apple comes through on their end and co-markets or 
does something else to return the favor, but Win-specific things are at 
least as critical; in terms of marketshare, about an order of magnitude 
more so.

In a chat several weeks ago Kevin mentioned some plans to do cool stuff 
with Vista.    That's nifty and all, but won't do a thing for my sales 
for more than a year.

I sure would like to see Windows given the respect it deserves in terms 
of appearance details....
