If you were able to have a private meeting with Bill Gates and able to request ONE thing that had to be expressed in a single 25 word statement to be added/changed/fixed for Longhorn, what would it be?

While not automatic during installation, this can easily be accomplished with TweakUI. I'd rather they concentrate on stuff I can't control.

Ahhh yes the wonderful possibilities with TweakUI. I initally downloaded that one just to get rid of the stupid logon screen, which was useless considering I'm the only one that uses this system.
My question:
Can we set it up so that Windows doesnt (insert latest unexplanable headache here)??

A multitasking system that really works, the ability to reinstall/repair without losing app info.

Replace the registry with something more user and application friendly so installing/uninstalling applications doesn't bloat the OS over time.

Put back everything that you've taken out that makes upgrading from XP worthwhile

| I think this one would benefit Stardock on two fronts... "Get rid of GDI altogether and implement a simple 3D windowing subsystem API and framework." To elaborate the above suggestion, make drawing desktops accelerated using direct 3D hardware calls similar and akin to what OS X does in their desktop. Copying ideas? Yes. But at least we won't be limited in what software developers can do when decorating a desktop and customizing windowing behavior. |

"Could we please have an OS that is modular. Just create a REALLY good OS and leave the added BLOATWARE and useless utilities up to the user to choose. I'd like to choose my own media player, browser, CD burning app, etc."

All Windows UI styles since 3.0 and shadows under windows and the ability to set something to be on the clipboard at log on.

Make all icons, cursors, pretty much the entire gui able to be customized and edited by default as normal as you would a wallpaper. And give paint more than 16 colors.

Provide a control panel that lets me set and edit many of the hidden system settings (i.e where do programs try to default install, where my settings and temp files get put.)
Yes, I know this can be done with TweakUI, but I would rather it be an integrated part of the system.
