Ok I know it's too late but is there a thread for a wish list?
I wish Microsoft would change windows in a way that my active window remains my active window no matter what's happening in other applications. Much like UNIX does.
I hate it when I'm typing away in word, a pop up appears for another app that is running, I don't notice till I look at the screen and then find that I've been typing and not in Word or some other application.
Ever since MS introduced the Windows, why haven't they made this one change? Since Windows 3.0, I've been beta testing there OS's to some degree and have had the ability to register my "thoughts". I know this has been asked a myriad of times, so why don't they do it?
Well one way is memorize the keyboard so you can look at the computer screen and not look at your keys when typing (like me)

What I wish would be incorporated into windows is a Windows Explorer filing system that conforms to filing rules that were established many, many years before the PC was conceived with appropriately titled organized folders and subfolders and is still in use wherever paper files are still used and has not been improved on after all these decades, perhaps centuries. Why, Oh Why, did some airhead developers have to decide to wreck this established standard that has worked so well for so long? This backward slide actually began with Windows 2000 when they lumped "Documents" and "Settings" into one folder. "Documents" just doesn't belong in the same category as "Settings". This straying from logical filing logic advanced through XP and went completely wild with Vista. Unfortunately, Windows 7 has done little to correct this issue.
you do realize that you can rename and reorganize your folders any way that you want them, don't you? if you don't want settings in with doc's, then put them in a different place, and make up your own folder system.
