I would like it if Microsoft made it more easier to customize the looks of an OS with loads of functions and all...simple things too, like in 1 or 2 clicks renaming the text in the startbutton.. etc..

Tidy up those directories, please! Why can't the folder structure be as tidy and elegant as that of the Amiga? It's silly any other way.

Dear Bill: As if I will try Longhorn anytime soon? IE sucks; your pop-up blocker is a yawn. And let's stop all that advice, tool tips and oh-hum icons. Wouldn't hurt if you were a little more quicker on the draw when it comes to security updates (as if that matters to my own internet security system!) These good folks at WinCustomize do a much better job of design - pay them!

And Mr. Gates, could use stop people from posting in huge fonts that look like crap.

Is there a way to speed up the OS loading time?

Mr Gates, you've amassed huge wealth, how about a realistic price for Longhorn that the lower end of the socio-economic scale can afford

I would like an OS that includes a "Dumb-ass" version for the computer-illiterate, but also lets you switch to an "advanced" version for the rest of us. (Much like Spybot)
