Update Timezone display
The timezone display on Windows 7 could use a bit of an update. It still shows a pretty static display.
Possibly update to something similar to this:

Library enhancement - TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, Podcasts
You can create new libraries in Windows 7, but they don't seem to recognize types. If I put a TV Show into Zune, it will organize it as a TV Show, and sometimes show album art / DVD cover.
Change the Windows 7 Libraries to recognize TV Shows, Movies, Music Videos, and Podcasts (all recognized in Zune right now) as default types so that we can organize them accordingly; TV Shows can sort by series (with DVD covers), seasons (with DVD covers), (more...)

Allow color change from the Win7 light blue to match glass theme color
Windows explorer, Media Player, and other default programs use by default a light blue color theme that does not change with themes; only the glass color changes.
Allow the change of the light blue theme to either always match the glass color, or be a separate color in the personalization settings.

Advanced Tag Editor back in Media Player
In Media Player in vista, I could right-click and get the advanced tag editor, which I cannot do in Win7. I have to use the WinXP virtualization to get this feature, or edit the file in the Explorer Window, which doesn't then give me the ability (more...)
just add the advanced tag editor back.
(I don't have build 7600 RTM, so I can't verify if this is back)

Add TV Shows, Podcasts, Movies to Media Center and Media Player in SP1
In WMP 12, the lefthand side shows only music, videos, radio stations, and recorded TV as types. There is nothing for already downloaded or purchased content such as podcasts, TV Shows, Music Videos, or Movies.
The same goes for Windows (more...)
At the very least, organize podcasts into their own separate category so that when we perform 'random play all' of music during a party, an NPR podcast doesn't randomly blurt in there with all the music as it would now. At best, add podcast, (more...)

Screensaver options
The three new screensavers (Bubbles, Mystify, and Ribbons) in Windows 7 7231/7260 do not have options to edit their setting except by editing the registry to change things like opacity, number of items on screen, et al. All I get is a message saying: (more...)
Place user controls for each screensaver so that we can edit them in the screensaver options in Personalization.

Integrate Zune software with Windows 7 features
Zune software only has a taskbar thumbnail, but no media controls in its thumbnail, which Media Player has.
Update Zune software to include Taskbar Thumbnail controls; when minimized, show album artwork or video in the thumbnail.

Codec Error Reporting and WinUpdate Download
When a codec is not installed, Media Player and Media Center do not play it back, simply reporting that the codec is not installed, and taking no further action.
Send an error report detailing the file's audio and video codec so that Microsoft can see which codecs people are using, and then push those codecs down via Windows Update as optional updates once a codec is found and signed for Windows 7. This (more...)

Windows Photo Gallery
Windows Photo Gallery does not support putting tags in pictures as it did in Vista.
Restore the Vista Photo Gallery into Windows 7 so I can tag pictures again and put tags in them.

Media Player - taskbar thumbnail should show album artwork
Currently when the media player is minimized, it shows a view of the application while media is playing, not album artwork. It does play videos in the thumbnail view, but in playing music, no album artwork.
When minimized, have the Media Player show album artwork when playing music.

The Ruler and Status icons were removed from WordPad, and replaced with checkboxes. Older users see the larger icons better than the small checkboxes
Restore the Ruler and Status Bar icons; under ruler, possibly add a dropdown to change from Imperial to Metric for international users.
