Black screen during hibernation? Why?
Is it by design? You don't know if the hibernation started at all or if it's finished or not: you have to look at the hdd led (if any!) because you don't venture to plug out the power cord.
Bring back the XP hibernation status bar with new design.

Put Aero into Media Player
The new WMP has a very clean and nice interface; however the interface doesn't seem as native as explorer(s) due to lack of enough aero IMO..
It'd be nice if the aero can seep into the back-forward buttons much akin to IE8 or Explorer. The tabs should be lowered and kept in same line as the command bar with a border separating them.
EDIT:
Changed suggestion, removed (more...)

Windows Media Download in WMP has old IE animation
When listening to an internet media file and choosing save as in WMP, the download dialog looks like it's from an old version of Internet Explorer.
UPDATE: build 7100, somebody obviously looked at this dialog box or did something to (more...)
Update it. In fact, Microsoft should have had a Windows 7 development team dedicated to removing old legacy crap and updating dialog boxes, buttons, icons, animations and all of that jazz to modern standards. Why there has to be so much legacy in a product (more...)

Administrative Tools window opens in a new window
Just like the title says it. When you open up Control Panel, type "Administrative" in search box. When you click Administrative Tools, the folder opens up a legacy "Administrative Tools" window, instead of the new Control Panel look (more...)
Use the same Control Panel look and feel for Administrative Tools or at least open them in the same window.

Classic looks like crap
Classic mode looks like a sloppy job. Why?:
1. The Start menu does not have borders
2. The find icon in explorer is outdated and squished 1px
3. Calculator's glass buttons turn into regular button with a background which look (more...)
Make it more like classic on vista, which looks better, or even XP's, which was the best.

Menu Item Height isn't uniform
Sometimes context menu items will be shorter than normal. I've noticed this with Office Groove shell menu items and in Azureus/Vuze. I think it only occurs when there is an icon included, but I could be wrong.
Make all menu items have the same height.

"Burn to Disc" program has terribly low res icon.
I was erasing a CD-RW, and then I looked at the taskbar... and saw a horrible icon. See the picture. Just thought I should submit real quick.
Fiks et. (That means "fix it" in a new language I'm making, but not really though.)

Currently log files generated by system are stored in ~15 different folders under Windows folder and additionally the root of Windows folder has always been dirty because of large number of log files. It would be cleaner to have one common directory for (more...)
