I would like to see this available to load before you try to install a program. I also hate the nanny state where they check with you for any action that modifies a program on the hard drive. I hate the new 90 day certification program that invades your hard drive every day to approve your os and tells you if it is a genuine copy. I can have a copy declared fake if I install new memory on my laptop. Overall it is a very stable system and manages memory and resources much better than XP. I also hate Windows Live and would prefer to return to Outlook express. Hopefully patches will be issued. None of my wishes require major reprogramming.

Most of your issues are settings, and how may I ask that you know it wouldn't require major programming?

Conversations with people who develop applications to work with windows. I was able to clear up many problems by upgrading from home premium to professional. Still feel that XP was better but this is now better.

Try having conversations with people who develop Windows before making statements like that

I guarantee you're wrong that anything is just as simple as changing a few lines of code and calling it a day to make things better for all mankind when it involves an operating system.
