Scrap 95 % of what has been done and hire the guys that created the Macintosh OS of about 15 years ago.
Rant mode on/ It still baffles me , the success of the IBM style over Macintosh. IN 1990 I used both styles and the MNacintosh of that day had a windows -style operating system that rarely seemed to crash and was every bit as easy to use as the Windows systems of today

Remove Windows Product Activation from WinXP and all future versions of Windows. It's an annoyance to legitimate customers and no deterrence at all to the major pirating rings. I also don't believe that Microsoft's stance of 'one computer, one OS license' is legally defensible when applied to a private, non-commerical environment.
Uncouple Internet Explorer from the core of the Windows OS. There's no reason for the security-hole-ridden IE's code to be comingled with the OS code and thus increase the potential security risks.

Thats actually the one thing that Windows does supremely well. We have all come to accept that crashing is normal and that of course our old programs can't run on our new machineOriginally posted by Richelieu

Re: Re: If I was in charge of Windows, I'd...
On the Taskbar, minimized windows appear the same as inactive windows that may be maximized/restored. I'd prefer if there were 3 states shown on the taskbar: Active (already has it), inactive (already has it), and a minimized state (perhaps grey it out a bit more?).Originally posted by FrustratedPoet

As for the alphabetize feature, I could've sworn it used to be there, but on my XP Pro installation I couldn't find it in the minute I checked, but TweakUI has an alphabetize/sort feature I used.
I'll add another two to the list:
- Allow users to force taskbar entries to the tray
- Allow users to have multiple taskbars multiple places. So, for instance, you could make a second taskbar up on the very top of the screen and make all your IE windows go there...

UNIX's architecture is very dated, NT's is far more modern.
UNIX has been around for far longer, though, so they tend to be very stable. But that's about all it has going for it."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

*supprot for dual/triple displays automatically (to come in built) -with less hassle
*get rid of that 60 hz barrier by defauly and make it 85 hz...
*cut the price in half so that OEM and retail difference is not more than 50% ...
*support for 2 cpu cores automatically too (well it is with some and not the "home " versions)
*have better "repair" options, so better self-diagnostics, so you can actually salvage the setup with the CD if something goes broke...
*when you have a crash - to point out what device/driver the crash was related too
* sort out netmeeting - when it's ****ed in an installation for whatever reason that it can be reinstalled - unlike now
* having 1-2 % of CPU time allocated to killing processes and calling task manager at any time
*have minimize/maximize window, show desktop option when you right click by default
