* NTFS support during installation
there should be NTFS support built in to anaconda so that ntfs
partitions are automatically recognized and added to /etc/fstab - and
that users are given an option to make them read-only or to be mounted
in read-write mode.
I don't believe this is possible because of non-free licensing reasons.
* Beagle and Deskbar installed by default
these applications make all the difference for an desktop user between
an OK user experience and wonderful user experience. Work flow
using these two applications is radically improved and this is what
should be showcased as a Modern linux desktop.
I could go either way with this ... I personally did not like it, of
course I prefer the Windows Classic setting when using Windows also.
- also I would add a beagle firefox plugin which also makes all the
difference when you need some resource you saw online but didn't
bookmark it or put it on del.ico.us
- these apps don't waste resources, and the memory footprint is really
not that much, especially if put in context that you really have to
look hard these days for a system that has less or equal to 256MB of
memory. I tested beagle on 3 laptop systems with fedora 6 / 7 and one
desktop with also fedora 6 / 7 and I didn't have a single issue. So
for me not to have in installed in Fedora 7 was a big disappointment.
For me beagle seemed to cause the system to become a bit laggy when it
was indexing on my old P4. On a dual core I have not noticed it
working, but that's my experience.
* Firefox to have it's original icon in gnome panel
the icon fedora uses makes me search for firefox icon all the time. I
guess that I'm not the only one. Firefox has one of the most
recognisable icons I have ever seen and simply don't see why fedora
uses non-firefox icon. It just confuses users.
The reason for Firefox Icon not being used is that you can change your
browser to some other though the preferred applications control panel to
something else. Nothing like clicking on the Firefox icon and firing up
Links!
* Desktop shortcut for joining Fedora IRC (aka Get Live Help)
Fedora is about freedom+communication, right? Why not make this
statement more that just a nice slogan. If you installed saabyon linux
SNIP
in IRC chat room and was on my way after I got quick help. Whis kind
of help was precious to me and would love to see it in fedora as one
of it's main features and not just as a slogan.

Not a bad idea ... I would give that a +1
* Desktop folder with examples of what this linux thing can do :)
This is especially important for a live cd versions. Ubuntu has this
SNIP
great value in video presentation and include some great videos on
Fedora 8 live CD.
ubuntu examples:

and another: http://knowledge76.com/images/thumb/800px-Dapper_examples.png
Not a bad idea, though I would definitely allow not installing them if
you don't want/need the extra cruft. The ones I've liked are the We
Are Here and the fedora remix videos.
Of the RedHat ones I always liked Truth Happens and Inevitable
* a working Burning app for Fedora Gnome desktop
Put any new user in front of fresh Fedora 7 desktop and ask them to
SNIP
a link
for CD Recoder placed somewhere under Applications menu and not
Places menu.
Well the current one works like the windows XP one does ... drop in a
burnable disk and drop files into the folder and click Write to Disk.
I rather like the way Nautilus one works ... for most stuff it's all
that's needed.
