(Get the code!)
Personally, Vista isn't as bad as some make it out to be. As for the open dialog, I consider it a big improvement over the older dialog even in Vista. In XP, there was a PowerToy called Tweak UI that allowed you to change the five shortcuts shown to other locations. However, you still couldn't add more. Vista lets you do that.
I should note that the Vista dialog has one disadvantage that I can find: It is hungry for screen real estate. This gets worse if you pick the Extra Large preview. At that size, each icon gobbles up 300px plus borders and text. (The old one has that too in Vista, but it doesn't have as much outside the list.)
