    Well, lets see, moving away from the Registry (single point of failure)
    would be a good step.

    Separating the operating system from programs would be great, I don't
    like the fact that everything and it's brother thinks it can or should
    dump files into the system directory.

    What else is flawed? What other changes should be made?
