As sad a comment as this is to make, that calendar was responsible for me consistent use of PDAs over paper based calendars and planners. It was basic, much like the PocketPC version of Outlook now is, but basic is by no means a bad thing. I've been hoping that this idea would spur Microsoft into looking at why Linux is so popular and works so well on even the most basic of machines, as part of me longs for a widely available version of Windows which uses very little resources, and which actually works.

Longhorn was always based on Server 2003 as a starting point. Longhorn 3xxx broke off just before Server 2003 was finished. 4xxx picked up the RTM bits. 5xxx picked up SP1. Aperture is nothing like WinFS. He says Virtual Folders refresh whenever you open one. They actually refresh whenever something changes. Other than that, all I can say is that you're talking about a product that's nearly a year away. At least wait for beta 2 :) He missed a lot of things.
