"Add Fonts" is outdated
Generally outdated. Uses Windows 3.1-era folder views. Cannot select individual font file - lists all fonts in folder.
Not only update styling, but add new functionality. Search. Font management - activate/deactivate. Fonts export/backup functionality.

According to a credible source, the dialog no longer exists in Windows 7 and is most likely not going to come back. No words whether or not there are any new 'font organization' features.
Performance options dialog has available space for list, doesn't use it, isn't resizable
Performance Options has a semi-long list of items, but the box the options are in does not use all the space in the dialog to minimize scrolling, and the dialog as a whole isn't resizable
Make the dialog resizable. Make the box containing the items use all the available space in the dialog. If the dialog is made resizable, make sure the box the options are in properly uses all space.

Allow ordering of Taskbar
When explorer dies, the taskbar returns with apps in a different order than they were originally.
1. Remember the order (save them maybe every minute?) and restore if explorer is restarted.
2. Allow the user to re-order them.
It seems silly that we should have to install extra software to do the reordering.

Paint MUST be replaced
Stock Paint application is outdated, feature-limited, ugly and must be thrown away from the modern operating system environment.
Replace Paint with more sophisticated application. Paint.NET looks very promising.

Task Manager tab background
The task manager has the wrong color of the background tab. It should be white.
Even Windows XP is guilty of the same thing.
Change background of tab to match Vista UI (so white)

Standardise on "Safe to Remove" confirmation
If you safely remove hardware via the icon in the notification area, you get a dialogue box. If you safely remove from anywhere else (like Computer) then you get a balloon.
Choose one confirmation method and stick with it. I think the balloon works better.

UAC overlay icons aren't correctly blended.
The icons are surrounded by a white jagged edge, instead of being blended neatly. It is more apparent when the icons are larger.
Note: I don't normally have my icons that large, it's just for demonstration purposes.
Blend the icons correctly.
