"Share" Can

Vista vastly improves the experience for sharing files and folders over XP.

The usual steps in sharing a folder are

1. Pick the folder

2. Add recipients, give permissions (reader, writer etc)

3. Send a mail to the recipient with the share name

The following dialog box makes the third (and the most boring) step a breeze.

A click on the email hyperlink in the dialog box presents you with an email with the following text

"I have given you permission to access some of my files from any computer on this network. You can access them by clicking the link(s) below.

Click send. Done. Great job.

Shows how important it is to extend the user experience from a point action to an entire workflow.
