I find the lack of a decent package manager the biggest flaw in Windows. I get very irritated when my workflow is interrupted by an autoupdater from Adobe, InstallShield, Steam or whatever. I'd so much more prefer updating all my applications from a centralized service of some kind.
A good package management system should also serve as a solid foundation for an App store. OSX will have an app store soon, I guess Windows must follow the example.
The damn autoupdaters waste so much time and effort that it's embarassing. It hasn't been once or twice when I go in for a lecture and the professor opens his computer and then 200 people have to wait up to 20 minutes for his PowerPoint to install updates.
What comes to Windows 7, it's the best Windows I've used so far but that isn't very much to say. I have never used Windows for any real work, once I tried for a week but then I had to get actual work done and switched to my favorite Linux distro.
