Most of us who use Windows Vista have probably come across a couple of user-interface quirks during our times - some of which irritate you more than OTHERS, some are more obvious than others. With the development of Windows 7 speeding full-steam ahead, I thought this might be an opportunity as good as ever to make these PROBLEMS known to Microsoft and hopefully get them all resolved.

Instead of going at it alone, I thought this is the perfect opportunity to harness the wisdom of the CROWD. Therefore I’m asking you to submit any UI quirks you know of in Vista and I’ll help compile a list of them together, including but not limited to legacy icons, legacy styles and malformed layouts. INCLUDE with it a brief description of the problem (and possible alternative if appropriate).

I can’t promise you that all bugs will be fixed but I will push them to someone at Microsoft who has been said to “get things done”. Without a further ado, I’ll kick it off with a couple of examples.

I understand the FONTS dialog using Win 3.1 dialogs (I had a giggle when I went to install fonts in XP- heck, I thought it was funny in 95...) but, the second one is kind of silly- Oh my god NO! it uses a icon from a previous version of windows! They probably didn't update it because they didn't need to. And is this "Previous Versions" Tab a Vista feature or a feature installed by some other app?
