Stationery setup wizard is wizard97 style
In Windows Live Mail, when I go and select stationery when composing a message, and select create new, the resulting wizard is wizard97 style rather than Aero wizard style.
(At least it uses the Segoe UI font! :) )
Come on Microsoft, its not 1997 any more; update the wizard to be Aero Wizard style.

The dialog itself is also old.
Replace it.

Allow Linux users to access the full hotmail
Whenever I visit Hotmail, I get the light mode. I use Firefox. It's even more annoying when I use Midori (a WebKit browser) and an error saying I should use a different browser, when it uses the exact same engine as safari!
Allow Linux users to access the full mode.

Closing the "add E-mail account" window presents an older dialog. (Windows live mail)
When you are in Windows Live mail, and click on "add E-mail account" and then exit the wizard, you are presented with an older dialog. Also, it has improper wording.
"Do you want to close the window without finishing" (more...)
Remove it as its a violation of the Windows Vista UX Guidelines[1].

Clean up Windows Live Help Central
When I visit help central, I find that all the products there are outdated and the list is poorly done:

Betas, (Calendar Beta, LPG Beta, Skydrive Beta???)
and have numerous (more...)
Clean up all outdated information and update names of products etc. Make it less cluttered.

[Messenger] Font Dialog is outdated
The font dialog is outdated, especially for choosing font color. It's amazing that we can only choose 15 colors (White color is in the list - total 16 colors- and it's stupid because you can't write with white color !)
Update font dialog, and let us to choose our custom font color !

Windows Live Gallery should unify all other addon sites.
There are too much different places where we can get enhancements of Windows and Windows Live Experiences, but Microsoft did a very bad job to present them to general users.
For example, developers tend to use different soluations for hosting (more...)
Think of a site with Wave 3 outlook which redirect / host all Windows application addon, which are open source, experiment, RTM etc...
Allowing developers to communicate to users as well.
