Start menu customization
It annoys me that the Vista Start Menu is not as flexible as the XP Start Menu.
Under XP I had folders with shortcuts for things like Internet, Media, Utilities, etc.
While I can create folders under the Vista menu, opening them requires opening a new explorer window instead of just showing the shortcuts within the menu.
Instead of duplicating the XP ability I've described, provide a means to integrate custom folders with the "Pin to Start Menu" option.
For example, allow the ability to add Start Menu groups and if they exist, the "Pin To Start Menu" option will allow you to pin into one of those groups.
The important part is that these groups are integrated into the Start Menu and they do not open separate explorer menus. A mouseover should expand them to the side in a new popup that is integrated into the start menu.

THE BEST SUGGESTION MADE HERE ! THANKS TINO !
I saw the "pin to startmenu" thing being integrated into 7's start menu. See screenshots ;)
I also agree with tino's suggestion.

I would suggest to display the Favourite Links list from the Windows Explorer as the "dark side" of the Start menu with the ability for drag&drop and to add new Links and Folders to that list via a menu in Explorer. Than, the folders should appear in the Start menu options where you can select if one item should be a link or a menu like you said.
