Vista could use this feature:
GVFS - this new network-transparent virtual filesystem layer for GTK+
is here to make your desktop sessions much pleasant. How? Why? Well,
for example: do you remember that simple file transfer/copy/move
window that appears (yes! the one with the progress bar and remaining
time)... well, because of GVFS, it's now able to show you more
than a progress bar! It can also remember the login credentials and
be more resilient to failures!

program. This perceived insult prompted Kildall to write his memoir. "The Man
Who Could Have Been Bill Gates" in Business Week (25 OCTOBER 2004)
