I wish they had kept the 3D pipe screensaver. It servers absolutely no purpose whatsoever, it's objectively a complete and utter waste of time and development resources to include it, but I still miss it.

I believe that from Microsoft's perspective, it most certainly had a purpose. The purpose was marketing/advertising the OpenGL/3D capabilities of NT.
