Screensaver won't start when Windows Live Messenger is running
I set the Bubbles screensaver to start after 1 minute, but when Windows Live Messenger is running, no matter how long I leave my computer inactive, the screensaver doesn't kick in, nor does any of the power saving settings for that matter!
Fix the problem.

WLM doesn't use the system color for menu bar
The menu bar in WLM's Contact lists, which appears if you press Alt, doesn't use the system color. But it uses the system color for the hover effect.
This looks ugly on non-default themes.
Use system color.

Controlling Folder Permissions in Subfolders
Now, you can only share a root folder with specific people or make it public. Going past the root folder and into subfolders doesn't allow the permissions to be changed.
Implement the ability to control the permissions of subfolders.

another way around emoticons
Cartoon emoticons replacing typed emoticons automatically on windows live mail.
I found putting an extra space in between the colon and parenthesis will not convert to the irritating emoticon on windows live mail. So instead of :) try : ). It still looks good! I'd still like Windows mail to give us the option of turning (more...)

If you do not have Flash installed, the Welcome to Windows Live Messenger screen is broken and doesn't offer any additional content.
Don't display the message and offer some content for those who didn't installed Flash. While you're at there, switch to Silverlight? :P

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.

Auto-save feature for Windows Live Movie Maker
Its annoying if you have been working on a large movie project in Windows Live Movie Maker, you have spent literally ages tweaking and customising the whole project to your liking, forgot to save your project, then it either randomly freezes up or displays (more...)
Add an auto-save feature like in the old Windows Movie Maker.

Smooth momentum scrolling in Live Mail's Calendar
When scrolling through the calendar with the mouse, it jumps to the day below which, and when it reaches the end of the screen it jumps and the screen shows the next month.
Scrolling should not scroll the selected day but instead scroll through all the days smoothly with momentum (like picasa, or iphone momentum scrolling) with no 'jumping' to the next page.

Make the next/previous month more obvious in Live Mail's Calendar
When viewing the calendar in month view, it is not clearly obvious where the month starts an finishes without reading the numbers. You should just be able to SEE all the days in the month.
Make the squares of each month alternating in shade (more subtle than my image!) Or outline the month.
