Old XP animation inside Windows 7
Many installers I have come across call on a AVI resource for showing file copy progress. This animation still shows as a XP style one (exactly the same, to be honest) which is still present in Windows 7. It should be updated.
Update it to a newer, Aero styled (like in the file copy dialogs).

Have a feedback for all the problems found
The windows taskforce web page is great but the impact of suggestions we wrote would be harder if each submission will be sent to the windows team directly from seven. Otherwise there is the risk that all the problems will not find any acceptable solution.
A new tag - for exemple «already sent to technical support» - for each submission is required indicating that the problem has been forwarded to the windows team using the applet built inside seven.
