Just curious what others are sending in as "true" feedback and not just bug reports which are obviously very important. But they're not just looking for bug reports - they (meaning Microsoft) want to know what people would like Windows 7 to be, or work like, or cater to since it's not feature complete just yet.
I just sent in this little tidbit myself (probably the most wanted "feature" but it's been wanted for years now):
So, what are you folks looking for, hoping for, etc... what would you change in Windows 7 if you could, and if someone acted on your feedback and made it happen?

Feedback submitted to Microsoft said:Please, for the love of Bill Gate's children, will someone on the WMP12 development team PLEASE add a simple feature that's been missing from Windows Media Player forever:
Let pressing the Space Bar during playback PAUSE the player, whether it's music, videos, DVDs, etc.
That is the one single feature that I want the most overall for WMP12, seriously. Every other media player out there like Media Player Classic, VLC, MPlayer, WinDVD, PowerDVD, and even DVD Player in OSX will pause playback when you press the Space Bar, but Windows Media Player hasn't done this since version 6.4 (the last best one in my opinion).
So please, pass this info on to someone on the WMP12 development team.
In fact, if possible, why not add keyboard shortcuts for the most common actions like WinDVD has:
Space Bar = Pause
F = Fast Forward, multiple presses step through the fast forward speeds
R = Rewind, multiple presses step through the rewind speeds
Page Up = Previous, useful for DVD chapter skipping
Page Down = Next, useful for DVD chapter skipping
Enter = Stops Fast Forward/Rewind and returns to normal playback
and many others.
Thanks...
