Windows 7 Feature Ideas

ddunno if folks have read the leaked list of feature requests, but i thought id do my own, maybe some one from microsft might see it and go, hmm that'd be a good idea!!!

1. scrollable taskbar - if you have more than 5 windows open at a time they get really small till its jsut icons, this is really naf, so i suggest a scrollabel task bar, like the tab bar on firefox, where the progrmas stay same size just you have to drag the bar along.
2.Adminastrative progrmas folder, to actually contain useful app's like msconfig and the like, that are semi-reguallry used but need the run toolbar to use.
3. more refined GUI, as seen on istartedsomething, theres about 18 diffrnet GUI's in vista, i like ribbon, n the little forward backward thing in medi palyer, so i think they should be standard, the layour of control panel sub sections neeeds alot of improbvment too, n defender, thats jsut confusing as hell, with loads of dead space.
4. switch monitor option built into the right click on the taskbar programs when usign dual monitors. i usea dual setup my my secodn monitor is a tv, if a switch over then i cna't see what behind, but i cnat put it onto the main monitor wihtout turnign back to pc then movign it across again, wiht all the maximizing minumizing stuff.
5. ability to change colour of the task bar, black is the new black, but its boring after a year or two.
6.make things mroe user freindly, i came across config.msc ,n its techy stuff but in a nice explained way, why cnat this be built into task manager or summit so i know what wpscnfg is.
7.include an icon pack for possible colder you might make such as work,school,random etc, n or atleast maek it easieer to find icons on the pc, especially the 256 icons
8. include smethign better than paint, it doesnt have to be firefox but geeze, paint is ancient.
9 oh yeah on ancient, drop the legacy code, at least anything before XP, its buggy, mlaware inducing crap, i dont need any software that's over 5 years odl much less 10, evne wiht compatibilty a large amoutn of apps don't work, jsut relese the old OS's in a vizualitionf firnedly form for free or osmethign, then if peopel wanna use apps on them then they can run a viz, most pcs will run them in that way anyway. in fact dropping legacy alltogether n having a vizulaition program to run xp (maybe evne vista) n below may be a really good idea, if hte new kernal is slim then it should enact much of a performance hit on the Vizzed OS.

thats my ideas done for now
