What's your problem? I guess when I do get that barbeque invite, I won't
invite you. You probably wouldn't have any fun. You would have to question
why there is only one cook making everybodies food, instead of everyone doing
it themselves.

BTW...If you don't want to provide feedback you don't have to.

What would I like to see? A winning Powerball ticket in my hand.

Now that Vista has RTMed, what functionality would you like to see either in
a service / feature pack, extra, or future version of Windows? Please post
here with what you would like to see, why you think that people would use it
and I will try to pass the suggestions along to MS.
 
Its got to be the real thing. Then I could get the biggest baddest PowerMac on the whole Planet and awesomely dual boot between OS X and Vista.

How about a photoshopped Powerball ticket? :)

Mr. Vista said:
Is there currently means of re-starting/shutting down the system so that
when it re-starts the desktop appears with all previously open windows
open again in previous positions?.

I would like to see a free AV component. If MS is charging $400 for
Ulitmate, I think they should provide a free AV module with minimal yearly
upticks... say, $10.

I'd like to see Vista capable of running on my machine w/o buying new
priters, modems, scanners, etc.

I know there's little MSFT can do about drivers from vendors but I was
hoping they could apply a little pressure? Maybe after the public
release....
 
Here are a few things off the top of my head. I might add more..

* Networking: Built-in Dynamic DNS client, based on some named standard or a
proprosed standard (for crying out loud .. this should have been added years
ago)

* Accessories: PowerShell out of the box (!!)

* Accessories: KeePass (http://keepass.sourceforge.net/) equivalent
accessory out of the box

* Legacy support: Legacy emulation for full-screen mode in command shell
while using Aero (including IO/terminal signals & commands such as terminal
fonts, resolution, etc)

* IIS: Easier/automated method of adding local server SSL certificates in
IIS for developers

* IIS: Ability (or better or more obvious documentation if ability exists)
to set default AppPool installation behavior so that IIS 6 based web apps
that get installed are automatically setup for the Classic app pool rather
than the new one.

* Display: Registry key (or documentation if it exists) to enable Aero
support if installed legacy XP display driver supports D3D 9.

* WMP: New icon

* Windows Mail: New icon

* Windows Mail bug: Filter new NNTP headers if "Show replies to my posts" is
enabled

* Search / Accessibility: Easier / quicker access to searching non-indexed
files in specified directory using only a keyboard

* Search / Accessibility: Comma or semicolon delimited list support for
specifying directories to search

* Hardware: User-level driver abstraction for USB (don't BSOD on faulty USB
device and perhaps even USB controller drivers)

* Network / Accessibility: Easier / quicker access to Connect To options for
connecting to a VPN (show as menu; user should never have to open any
windows to find a network to connect to)

* Explorer Bug / Accessibility: Occasionally, keyboard shortcuts for menu
items such as Alt+F+C sometimes don't work, rather they just "beep" and
collapse the menu. Unacceptable behavior for those of us who avoid the
mouse!

* Accessories: Integrated bug / feedback reporting user interface for
Windows as a Windows app (not as web site)

Oh I forgot Media Center ..

* WMC: Ability to set Recorded TV media directory if there is no TV tuner,
so I can point to a network XP MCE server.

- and/or -

* WMC: Thumbnail and metadata (title, date) displayed in Videos list view
when browsing a network directory, equivalent to Recorded TV functionality.
