Power plan editor window is busy and requires too much clicks
Advanced power plan editor window looks too busy, settings tree size is way small for such amount of options, each option requires too many unnecessary clicks to access its editor.
Show options editors at-a-glance; make window bigger and not that crowded; put meaningful descriptions to things like "Link State Power Management" or "USB selective suspend setting".

What I'd really like to see is to have a master set of options that let you control the power buttons and lid/start menu power button/etc. to either allow you to configure them as a master set of controls (1) regardless of the current power setting (balanced/power saver/performance) and (2) configure individually by power setting. As mentioned in the description above, it already takes a whole lot of effort to make changes to the start menu power button (in my case, I had to set it to "hibernate" as opposed to "sleep" - and I had to do it 3 times! for each of the power settings)
One of the earlier jokes I saw about Vista was that pressing the 'power' button in the Start (or should that be Orb) Menu didn't actually switch off your computer and you had to do all of this rubbish to change it. Sigh.
Just integrate this stupid tiny dialog into the Explorer windows...

What about the possibility to control system fans?
