SkyDrive folders should have Web Slices
There are limited applications of Web Slices and a very appealing one may be using them to show folders on SkyDrive. This would allow, for instance, a SkyDrive Favorites folder to be on the Favorites bar with a list of the links you've stored online.

Allow any SkyDrive folder to be turned into a Web Slice, including the root folder. Allow dragging of links or files to the Web Slice.

Please add the ability to transfer folders into the SkyDrive
Currently, we can only transfer files into the SkyDrive, so it takes a long time, and many clicks, and is very annoying to load a huge amount of pictures.
It would be much better and user-friendly if a person could tranfer folders into the SkyDrive.

Live Mesh is separate from SkyDrive. I wish I could use LiveMesh to store/ sync file to SkyDrive -i.e SkyDrive becomes the core storage for all Live services.
1. LiveMesh becomes the sync technology to SkyDrive

The font dialog is outdated, especially for choosing font color.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 !)

[Windows Live Mail] Let users turn off emoticon substitution!
Currently, when typing in the body of an email, if you type ":-)", it's instantly converted into a graphic smilie face. There is no way to turn this off.
This is very annoying. I hate peppering my email text with distracting (more...)
1) Provide a configuration option to enable/disable the auto-substitution of graphic emoticons for text ones
2) Allow such auto-substitutions to be 'undone' with backspace, as well as Ctrl-Z, just like Outlook and Word.

I can't believe Microsoft (at least in Italy) shows scareware and rogue software ads on its websites, for example "registry fixers" that simply remove some unused keys showing every item as "ERROR" and asking the user to pay to (more...)
Don't accept this kind of ads on Microsoft websites, becuse:
* It's negative ads for Windows (the avarage user thinks it is a necessary tool for a Windows PC)
