Windows photo viewer changes de saturation of images
It has to do with color management, and Photo Viewer isn't very upfront with how it deals with things. Sadly, Photo Viewer is painfully simplistic and doesn't give a UI to customize the features that it DOES HAVE (and does slowly).

Windows Photo Viewer support GIF, MNG format
Photo Viewer is something that should start quick, but still load as much as possible to maximise it's use... right now it's trying to compromise at both and failing on both accounts. If they can't make it work, I think it's time for them to split the Viewer into two parts (Preview Viewer / Photo Viewer); this is getting ridiculous.
Improve loading performance of Windows Photo Viewer
Photo Viewer falls short for nearly every aspect; It is neither fast loading nor feature rich. I find myself a bit baffled when using it. If the window isn't going to resize to the image, or the image isn't going to be expanded to the window (properly), then why should it load so slow? It's even more problematic on higher-resolution/corrected displays, where you get nothing you need - at a very big price.

Windows Photo Viewer Slideshow should have on-screen controls
Photo Viewer is too basic to require onscreen controls. Focus should be on the image at all times, keypad and mouse can handle navigation; right click is more than enough to handle all other functions (assuming you're using a mouse or keypad).
Windows Photo Viewer is too cluttered

It doesn't size images properly either. The whole thing needs to be rethought; there is no need for a traditional window when they're adding borders at / past 'actual size' - just give it a thin glass frame and use hover for everything that needs to be clicked. In an ideal world, resizing this 'frame' would essentially be resizing the image with it, then make a 'fullscreen' or 'maximised' view that has the zoome buttons etc. I can't tell you hdow annoying it is to deal with the 'fit to window' and 'actual size' buttons on higher-resolution displays... they just don't work.
