XP does have some other small good changes. One of my fav ones is that you can give a network adapter a "fallback" IP address and gateway, but still keep DHCP enabled. This can be very handy when moving a laptop between two networks, one with DHCP and one without.

The killer feature to me is still the boot, suspend and resume speeds. I am happy to put up with the other XP silliness on my laptop for this reason alone.
