Yay! There is at least one.

In W2k and XP, the Windows would notice when SMIRSH...er...SMART detected
an impeding harddrive failure and write a note in the Event Log, but Vista
actually warns the user and prompts for a backup procedure. :)

I found another Vista feature today:

According to the latest MSDN version, you can now define a fourth
image list for toolbar controls.

The first three are normal - hightlighted - disabled. But since Vista,
you can also use TB_SETPRESSEDIMAGELIST to specify the fourth list
which contains the icons which are shown when an WM_LBUTTONDOWN
message is sent to the toolbar and handed on to the tool below.
So, in layman's terms, if you click on an icon, you can now change the
icon for as long as the button keeps being pushed.

I almost implemented this feature in the control I am currently
working on until I read the minimum operating system required part.

Now I only need to get tooltips working and popup menus, then then it
is time to make the control easy to use ...
