Microsoft is adding version control and 7Zip and Tar to Explorer!
FINALLY!
While integrating 7Zip file compression into Explorer was no big deal, it'll be nice to have it there from the beginning. The Tar support will also be useful. But the version control, that's going to be very useful for casual developers who don't want to mess with installing Git or similar repo controls.

The /. discussion has a lot of talk about Total Commander, Double Commander, and Directory Opus.
