How about cleaning the startmenu to be more windows like?
How about finally adding 32-bit icon support? ;)
Yes, start menu should be made more like the Windows 2000 one (I don't like, and don't think it's right as of now to use the XP one). This is what I was implying with this item on the list:

The taskbar and startmenu's look definitely needs to be tweaked. Here are a few suggestions of mine:
- The start button needs to be several pixels larger in height and positioned a tiny bit more to the left. The "Start" text needs to be centered vertically and the font itself should be in bold. (The ReactOS icon really looks nice!)
- The desktop switcher should be disabled by default or at least moved out of the quicklaunch bar.
- The time in the icon bar should be centered vertically.
- the hide/show unused icons in the icon bar looks a bit out of line with the rest. I think a simple bevelled equilateral triangle would look nicer.
