Some small additions: 1) Ability to lower the active window with the mouse, maybe right click on titlebar. 2) Ability to change keyboard settings (repitition rate und repitition delay rate) above the todays maximum rates. Maybe 90% or 99% of the users have there settings at maximum or 90% of maximum I think. I don't think it a good design, if most people will use the maximum rates and maybe 5% or 10 % use the the first 90 % of the settings. But maybe this is a hardware problem and not an OS problem... 3) More consistent behaviour of CMD.EXE. What I would like to see improved is e.g. the different meaning or handling of points in filenames. Try myprog, myprog. or "myprog. " to start the program 'myprog'. Only the last one will start the program. I would like to be able to have files ending with points or even spaces and not all considered to be the same. Also try to move 'bigfile' to 'BIGFILE', I remember getting some problems, when I tried it (under 2.0). I never tried it again. 4) 'move' to move between filesystems... 5) REXX should use national language support. For example, using SysFileTree to get filenames, one always gets the US-date and time-format, which is not very meaningful in Germany. These are just some additions that come to my mind and have not yet been mentioned here, Unicode, ALT HOME for OS/2 Shell-Windows and these multiple message queues I would also like to see implemented soon.
