it should be more consistently designed so that everything looks at least somewhat cohesive. Honestly, I think that having Device Manager and the like function the same way [it does have new icons, but that's about it] is good enough for me- I know how to use the tool, and it would be rather frustrating to techs if they replaced it and dropped even one little thing. Personally, I'm okay with old functionalities- but replacing the stock Windows 98 icons with the new design scheme and making the background window color white [personally, I prefer black, but I'll take what I can get] is enough fresh paint for me. EDIT: I also want to say that for "old people" that specifically use "old functionalities" and replace their machines with new ones but want to use those same tools, it would be somewhat frustrating to them to have to re-learn a new UI, and we really don't want them running Windows XP anymore.
