You can't link a Contact to a Contact Group by Drag&Drop
I expected that I can link a contact in my Contacts folder into a contact group (mailing list) by dragging it. It even shows a "Link to" mouse pointer, but the contact does not show up in the group list.
Drag&Drop should be a no-brainer here.

Confusing: "Recorded TV" library is not part of Libraries
When you set up TV in Media Center a new library pops up under "Favorites" links in Explorer. The strange thing is, it is located in a hidden folder under ".../User/Public/Libraries/". Very confusing.
Make the new library part of the users libraries, even when it only contains public folders for recorded TV shows.

Start menu: Items can't be clicked while Jump List fades in
When you move your mouse over an item in the Start menu and the Jump List fades in, you can't click the main item during the fade-in animation of the Jump List.
This is a major ui glitch because it affects the confidence in the system.
Should work like in the Office 2007 menu: The left area of such items should always be clickable, no matter if a Jump List fades in.

Flip 2D: Selection color not noticeable enough
The color indication which window is selected is not clear enough.
The color should be darker to stand out.

WMP: text is distorted when in front of song list
It's a very nice feature: In Now Playing mode you can leave the song list open while you make the window very small. WMP is now like a small gadget displaying the current playlist. But then, the title text looks ugly.

The search box gets a black background for less than a second when you maximize Explorer.

Slideshow Gadget: displays the folder icon first
This is an old Vista bug still in the newest 7 build: When you start Windows 7, the Slideshow Gadget shows a blurry folder icon first (for example the picture library icon).
Start slideshow with the containing images.

Taskbar previews: dead space makes hot track color flicker
When you hover over an icon in the taskbar and move your mouse up to the preview, there is a small dead space. In this aera the hot track color is disabled so it flickers sometimes when you move your mouse around. Makes the new superbar feel a little (more...)
Remove the inactive space.

WMP overlay controls: window can't be moved and gets inactive
In build 7068 you can't move WMP around by clicking in the lower overlay control area. If you click there, the WMP window gets inactive. Also: moving the window around by clicking album art was very nice in earlier builds.
Make the empty overlay area an active area to move the window around. Provide this to the full Now Playing frame, when there in no video shown. This would make it very easy to move WMP around while the window is very small (like a gadget).

WMP: show title first as taskbar label text
When taskbar is set to show labels, Media Player shows first the app name. The tool tip of Media Player does it right, though.
Display the title and artist first of what is playing on WMP (like Word does show the document title first). This would also solve this problem: http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/173

Photo slideshow in WMP makes gadgets flicker
I never get the point of viewing photos in WMP. But if you do that, the gadgets on the desktop will flicker white after every transition. Seems to be related to this submission: http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/733
Solve the flickering.

Yet again: wrong mouse focus for scrolling
In the desktop background dialog the mouse focus isn't in the main area where you can choose the image(s) but on the drop down list. Clicking in the main area will deselect you current wallpapers.
Make the image list the active element for mouse wheele scrolling.

Desktop icons aren't in the "magic corners" anymore
So now it's all about details I guess and I am pretty sure this is new in build 7057. I know this build was never indended to go public but I just want to help report some issues.
Erase the margin on top of the desktop.
