"Simplifying" generally means "hiding the details from the user," which I don't 
like.  What I want from Windows is for it to work as advertised.  Never a blue 
screen of death.  Never a driver that can't be found.  Never an incorrect 
driver loaded.  Drivers available for any/all peripherals.  And, dare I say it, 
Multiple Master fonts available.  The ability to really add a whole lot of USB 
and Firewire peripherals that all work on a single machine, etc.
