# Vista: My list of RFEs

**March 10, 2007**

- When I defragment a disk, I like to know how much is left. It doesn't have to be a graphical cue, but a percentage done can't be hard to add.
- Why doesn't the right-click work in the message list in Outlook 2003?
- Can you detect when a program is activated by an actual mouse event, versus a coded mouse event? The Security Theatre warnings are annoying.
- Parts of OWA don't work in IE7, likely due to some arcane security setting.
- When I double-click to open a folder, why does Explorer think about it for a few minutes? Or does it just take a lot of smoke breaks?
- Hey, when you prompt me to determine if I actually want to run a "protected" program, why can't you take that extra microsecond and **remember** my choice for a couple of minutes. GNOME asks for credentials when you need to run a program as root, and holds those credentials for a while, making some processes that much more convenient.

- Ok, the VPN software I have at work doesn't work, so it's ok to use Outlook Web Access (**OWA**) over IE7. **WRONG**. Apparently it's up to the IT department to patch and reboot a running Exchange Server to allow Vista IE7 users to access OWA. Technical people seem placated by this, but I am not. Microsoft, did you think this through. "Oh yeah, everyone loves to reboot their Exchange servers on a daily basis!"
