Where you could click a button for a certain game and it would automatically adjust your settings,configs,or whatever it takes, to be able to play the selected game without any lag,crashes or other problems. That would be my dream :) I would like to have a very, user friendly ,online gaming setup option.

One of the major ones is a Smart registry/shortcuts - so you can jump into Program Files and move things about - reorganise the whole thing, if you want, or move stuff to new drives/partitions, and part of the process will be the updating of shortcuts and registry keys so everything works perfectly.

Not having to change system files and such or use other programs on top of you current build. It would really bring a fresh feeling to Windows and make windows a more user-specific OS. Everyone would have their own style, yet you will be able to hop on anyone's computer and know just how to use it. An easier way to change themes.
