Quickly Access Fixed Width Font in Notepad
It's a lot easier to read certain logs when you have a fixed-width font. It's much easier to read larger amounts of information when you have smaller, more compact fonts. It takes too much time to switch between fonts in notepad.
Include a feature in notepad to easily switch between fonts, or simply a "fixed width font" checkbox in the View menu which would turn on and off the use of Terminal or some other fixed width font.

Quick Launch Width Adjustment
Every link on the Quick Launch menu is exactly the same size, so why is it that we can adjust it's width and have blank space in there? Having to move the slider back and repeatedly lock and unlock the Taskbar and adjust the width pixel-by-pixel (more...)

Window Title Customization
When enough windows are open the Taskbar is cluttered and some applications have impossible to read names. For example, as was pointed out in another submission, a lot of the applications included with Windows include the prefix "Windows". It's (more...)
Give programmers the ability to include a shortened version of their application name or window title which would fit into the item in the taskbar when it becomes filled. Explorer would display the full title until the amount of space is reduced to the (more...)

Start Menu Height
The "All Programs" menu is limited to the height and width of the Start Menu, severely limiting the number of items you can see at once. This seems like a step in the wrong direction, since the very beginning of the Start Menu in Windows 95 (more...)
I'm not suggesting making the old Start Menu style the default, just a modified version of the new one which makes it easier and quicker for everyone to find the software they are looking for. I don't know how, but more space. While the new (more...)

Vector Based Graphics with Scaling
Sure, I can change the font size and make everything look way out of wack... I'd rather just be able to scale everything to whatever size I want, instead of just the font. Where are the vector graphics that I read would be in Longhorn? I'd love (more...)
If you want to be cheap about it, make some lower widescreen resolutions available. If you want to make people happy, replace icons, images, etc. with vector graphics.
