Resident editor Mike Halsey has just published on Windows 7 News, the latest post in his series ‘Looking Forward To Windows 8, What Microsoft Missed In Windows‘. In part 5, he covers improvements he would like to see to Windows 7′s libraries and search in Windows 8:

This is a very annoying omission and one that makes the otherwise excellent Libraries feature much less useful than Microsoft would like it to be.
