I don't miss USB or NTFS much (especially since "that big, free OS which everyone loves" already supports it among others). Besides, it wouldn't be trivial, would be very very hard. Heck, even ReactOS doesn't have USB, NTFS, or SATA yet. And would porting (N)ANSI or (CT)MOUSE bring any real benefit? (Speed???)

No, I think the simplest / most useful things would be best here. (And if that means XDMA or a clock, so be it. Besides, it's Japheth's time, so he really gets to decide what to do with it, heh.)
