Due to the stupidity of Long (that's me), all comments on the Windows 7 Taskforce after March has been lost.
As a result of this unfortunate event, a transition to a new backend (the one powering heresanidea.net) is being considered.

Windows Photo Viewer decreases quality and size of files when rotated

Submitted by kiwiant on February 23, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When you rotate an image in Windows Photo Viewer it overwrites the previous file with one of lower quality. For example, a file that was origionally 76,470 bytes in size is decreased to 60,129 bytes after a single rotate and 59,889 bytes after 3 rotates. (more...)

Use the orientation attribute in the EXIF data to store rotation information and render appropriatley.

Some full-screen applications / games may display the taskbar

Submitted by Cab on March 14, 2010 to Bug

Some full-screen applications or games still retain the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. I had initially thought this to be an issue caused by the new desktop window manager, but it turned out to be related to high-DPI.

If you are using high-DPI: Right-click the application in question and on the compatibility tab tick the checkbox to disable high-DPI scaling.

Start Menu Out Of Shape

Submitted by Trinity1080 on March 13, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When the taskbar is being docked on the side, it will block the pinned items. That is not good, but the worst part is when it is dragged wider, the start menu will change into something very ugly which I failed to describe it.

Fix this bug!

Make excel easier to use

Submitted by mooky on March 11, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

I work in a lot of spreadsheets with multiple worksheets within them. I'd like an alt-tab function so that I can flick between the worksheets easily instead of going to all the terrible effort of using my mouse to select the correct one.

Create an alt-tab-like system!
