I know this has been requested before, and for all I know it's impossibly hard to implement but since you're asking what I'd like to see, I'll cast my vote.

I would still like to see better support for devices such as USB devices and CD-ROM drives. When I have software updates for my Windows 7 machine that come on a CD... how am I supposed to do them when I don't have a mapped CD-ROM drive? How am I supposed to pull files from a thumb drive?

It seems to work fine for the server where all my software is installed from on-line sources after the original installation, but I'm not sure it works for a desktop type of machine. Maybe it does. I'm still new to this so I'm still learning, but those are my thoughts from my tiny bit of experience...or lack thereof.
 
Nice to meet u, I am newbie this forum,too. I am very much excited to take part of different discussions.I am afraid I cant help u ,but I will bump for attention of more experienced people!
