Well, I can think of a few improvements to the current OS's out there that I think I NEED to have.
Firstly would be a "Start" menu (or whatever you'd like to call it, depending on your OS) that will pop up with a mouse-click (Enlightenment had this, and I loved it. And with Triple-Head/Dual-Head setups it would be INVALUABLE).
Secondly, perhaps the ability to have two pointer devices set up. (As I said in another thread on here, Surround Mousing!)
Definetly a zip/gzip/rar/ace/lzh/arc/msa/dms etc. (I know I probably forgot a few...) program that built-in to the operating system.
A proper handling of Temporary files. Which by the way Windows XP STILL has not fixed!!! (quick example, back in the days of Win95, a friend was complaining that he had no disk space, yet he didn't have much besides the OS installed. I told him that perhaps the Windows\Temp directory wasn't emptied properly, since I had had that problem before. Well he looked in there and on his 2.1gb harddrive, he had 500mb worth of "Temporary" files. After deleting them, he had an extra 650mb free! There's the wonder of the first version of Fat32 for ya!)
I agree with the thought above, native support for burning to CD-R/CD-RW's. Which XP has... but it SUCKS. It does NOT use the standard ISO9660 nor even UDF. CDFS... Bleh.
After using Triple-head, I think it would be hard going back to a single monitor, that's for sure. But as stated above, having to travel all the way across three screens to use the start menu is kind of a pain. (Anyone remember the keyboard shortcut to do this under Gnome? I know there is one, just can't recall what it is
)
Anyhow, enough ranting
