Productivity and Fun

Well, one possible way to make word processors more "fun" is to allow for absolute positioning and automatic flow, meaning you can drag and drop anything to a specific spot and it will stay there and other elements will automatically flow around it, text included. Right now it's actually tricky getting things just the way you want them when trying to a more advanced layout. OneNote (my preferred note-taking program) works a bit like this, but it has other uses and fairly limited functionality in regards to the actual full potential of that idea.

As for fun in Windows, there's not much I can recall off the top of my hand, save for Windows Movie Maker, which is actually very competent video editing package. I suppose Microsoft is in a Catch-22 with that stuff, though, as the more stuff they add like that, the more the competition screams "monopoly/anti-competitive". Apple seems immune from that call for the most part and seem free to add in whatever they wish.
