everyday programs ! (Score 1)

1. simple programs like a dictionary, a translator, an efficient burning tool, a photo manager, a torrent downloader, an archive manager... so that i don't have to download 257 sharewares coming with 383 web toolbars and 1190 weather widgets --- the same sharewares that invade my desktop, load at startup without my consent and eat 75% of my resources. It'll solve two problems at the same time : first, the evident lack of productivity of Vista, and second, the recurring invasion of ad/mal/spy-wares. Plus, Ballmer will be able to say : oh, look, we've got tons of new features in Vista+1.

2. a better command line interface : some people do *program* on their computers... The same goes for a better text editor : i want a notepad with syntax highlighting, autocompletion and a spell checker.

3. a toolbox for drivers and codecs (and freewares ?). I mean, Media Player unable to download a codec for divx or ogg, this is just ridiculous.

4. a more flexible GUI, with virtual desktops (with some eye candy if Ballmer demands it) and size-customizable windows. For example, i would like to be able to *read* the content of the init tab of msconfig...

5. a built-in Windows-to-Ubuntu migration assistant ?
