Desktop users will have a facility to configure network interface bonding using NetworkManager. Enterprise(not Desktop) users will have facility to configure IP over infiniband, bridges and also VLANs.

Larger capacity (upto 16 TB..!!) file system Ext4 capability

Well, this is the nicest feature we can say, but how many users will ever need this? Not me- At this time..!!

Better Firewall( Dynamic..!) Configuration

In Fedora 17, all the cofigurations related to firewall will be handled by a daemon called 'firewalld' . This will dynamically apply the changes done by user without restarting the whole firewall.
