Put more muscle in there
When you pay 100+ bucks, you'd expect it's loaded with more than just Notepad or Paint. Those two haven't had much major upgrade since Windows 3.0. If you want some themes, you shouldn't have to pay another 40 or so to get a Windows Plus!. Also they say there's gonna be a deep tie with Windows Live, well better jack it up with SilverLight. I have no interest in these typical HTML/AJAX based social web site such as Facebook, MySpace, iGoogle and so on. They are dull and unattractive despite these "Web 2.0" weasel words they label themselves with.

And don't forget the cannoli, I mean security. Keep on the good work started from Vista.
