Dear Microsoft - Windows 7 feature requests.

Dear Microsoft,

Please either fix the compatibility issue wizard in Windows 7 or give us the built-in ability to mount an ISO as a virtual CD/DVD. I tweaked the use of your wonderful Virtual CD ROM Control Panel under Vista using the compatibility mode but it's broken under Windows 7.

Also, for old fogeys like me, could you make the option for a "Classic" start menu available again? Or at least give me the option of putting "My Computer" and "Network Places" icons on the desktop. Maybe I missed that option and it's already there.

I really like Windows 7 so far.

Regards,
Lou

P.S. Some of my friends may have features they wanted too. See any comments below this post for other feature requests. Thanks!

Lou, it seems that Daemon Tools won't work in Windows 7 either, but Pismo File Mount worked great for me.

I would like to be able to drag a window from the taskbar preview to it's own button on the taskbar. I think that this would be extremely useful.
