Vista - UI Suggestion: Fonts

Could windows finally display a sample of the font in a column in detail
view? Would be nice to not have to open a font file to see what it looks
like.

Yeah, sometimes I think I want too much... but man, it's getting annoying
after all these years when things this simple haven't already been addressed.
Maybe I'm the only one who cares...dunno.

Wait John Jay Smith....

Currently in XP if I drag 1000 fonts into the Windows font folder and 300 of
them end up being already installed (its sort out which are installed through
a manual glane), I have to click OK for a dialog for each of the 300 already
installed fonts. Have they finally added an "OK for all" button or some
change that doesn't make me click 300 times ?
