Better UI for Bandwidth Management

good idea.
I hate it, when I connect via my mobile phone where I pay for every 100KB of bandwidth and Windows Update sucks money out of it...

Changed title from ["Homegroup" category is visible when Homegroups are not configured] to [*FIXED in 7000* "Homegroup" category is visible when Homegroups are not configured].

File delete operation is too slow

I also have to agree with .Chris.
It's not UI only, it's user experience - and that also counts as such.

[!] Windows hangs for a while when performing disk operations [!]

d_e: Why wrong approach? I know what sandboxing is. It's running something in a separated process that's completely unrelated to the parent. It doesn't have to run inside a virtual machine, just in a separated userspace so that won't interfere (in this case - won't freeze) with the parent or any other processes in the system.
Running an operation like that in a separated process might not be enough (it can still freeze a part of the base kernel, waiting for some information to continue) - that's why I proposed sandboxing that sort of operations.

*FIXED IN RELEASE CANDIDATE* There shouldn't be an Eject AND Safely Remove option for USB flash drives just one option.

Urvabara: Yes, you are correct. Windows has no idea whether a device is a card reader or just an ordinary USB stick. That's why they should keep both options.

Aero gestures: Minimizing is missing

While not necessary great with mouse, this would be wonderful when used by FINGERS! (Tablet PCs)

I disagree. Those are totally different options.
When you plug in a card reader, you can safely "Eject" only the card - while not removing the whole card reader device, in which case you would use "Safely Remove".

Include an application sandbox

Jote: No one's pushing the definition. "UX Taskforce" was all about user interface. This is not UX Taskforce. This is Windows 7 Taskforce. Notice any change?
Aero taskforce is about Aero related bugs. Windows 7 is about Windows 7 related bugs - all of windows 7, not only aero. Long never was specific about what this Taskforce is about. It's safe to say, it's about Windows 7. And that's what this and some other problems/suggestions are about.

Progress Bar in SuperBar WMP

Also, I think a desktop gadget for WMP would be great.

Add a checkbox "yes i know what i'm doing" to copy and move prompts

Something like "Suppress all warnings and errors"

No easy way to move documents and application data to a separate partition / disk.

sukeshak: Changing the Documents folder is not the same as moving the whole Users folder (including Application Data and stuff like that).

But it is possible to make programs integrated into windows (like explorer) responsive. See the video and you'll get what I mean (=> show the contents and then WAIT for response, not the other way around)

Window title space - is it needed?

Wrote on November 3, 2008, 3:58pm

Don't agree with the File menu, lol, but that is a waste of space indeed.
