Wish list for Home Premium SP1

My wish list for SP1 for Vista Home Premium

1. The option to have a "classic version" of Windows Explorer,
similiar to Windows XP version. I want a permanent file tree on the
left side. Since I have my destop icons organized in desktop folders,
I hate having the file tree show in my desktop icon folders if I have
the Navigation Pane on for Windows Explorer. The ability to lock in
each folder's Layout options would solve all my problems.

2. Fax capabilities.

3. Some control over UAC. Hey, I'm the only one using my
computer...let ME determine what I can and can't do.

4. Some option other than a command prompt to change the disk space
allocated to System Restore. I can see the logic of reserving 15% if
Home Premium utilized Shadow Copies, but it doesn't. I had 45 GB
reserved just for Restore Points...thanks Microsoft.

5. The ability to properly partition my hard drive after Vista
installation. I was only able to reduce the space on my C drive to 161
GB on a 320 GB hard drive, presumably due to those mysterious
unmovable files that were plunked down right in the middle of my hard
drive.

6. Outbound prompting for Windows Firewall. Referring of course to
the ability to permanently or temporarily allow or deny any outbound
program from accessing the internet.

I second that motion!!!

Sterno--

They already done made it. They ain't doing any of that. MSFT makes SPs not
for functionality, but to plug a few of the security flaws they shipped
with.

You're basically stuck with the many functionality shortcomings until
possibly the next OS--so you meant Blackcomb or Windows 7 or Vienna or
Omnigo wish list--whatever name gets hung on the next OS.

That means there have ***never*** been major features added in Windows OS
SPs and there ain't gonna be in Vista.

Thanks a lot for the info and link Jupiter Jones. I am very satisfied
with Vista...can't even remember the last time it crashed, if ever.
Love the securtiy features, media center, and aero interface.
