Correct all legacy and/or inconcistant windows to use aero styling rules
A lot of windows still use legacy colors. There's not much to explain, here are two examples:
- the background color is gray in "Virtual Memory" and in "Performance Options" it's almost white)
- the create new task is somehow two-color
Use consistant colors throughout whole Windows

Well, yes. I have noticed that it's a tab vs non-tab window. But maybe that's just a bad example. Anyway, it still looks kinda different - eg. the spacing between the checkbox and stuff is very small in the "Virtual Memory" window, and the spacing in Performance Options is larger.
As you correctly state, Virtual Memory is wrongly designed. I think it should be similar to all other new dialogs (like File Transfer options, ...)
If "Create New Task" is properly designed then the Aero design guidelines are an epic fail. -.- sorry, but to me that hard color change looks totally idiotic.
people, its all about constant work here...

I think this would be better solved by implementing DavidTaraso's suggestion: "It's Time: Unified Control Panel". In re-thinking and intergrating all major system dialogs into the control panel the dialog colors would be updated anyway and this issue would be moot.
therefore i'm demoting this to allow other issues/inconsistances to rise to the top. I hope this makes sense.

Run and Create New Task dialogs are two-color because the button area is colored differently. Haven't you noticed that already?

Should single windows like 'Virtual Memory' really have a white background? 'Performance Options' is a tabbed dialog, so the background should be white to match the tabs (notice the area outside the tabs is grey), but I'm not sure what the guidelines are for non-tabbed areas.
+/-0 for now.
