(re cynical / 'I would like such-and-such to be functional / the way it worked in <previous version>' answers - I can think of plenty, I'm just trying to restrain myself here

One thing I think would be cool would be if Device Manager got a small upgrade, I'm not sure what I'd call it but I'll go with 'batch driver install' for now - imagine that you've just installed Windows on a new PC and Device Manager has a load of entries in 'other devices' waiting for drivers, so you have to go in on each one, install driver, point it at a location, rinse and repeat. I assume that most people here are like me in that you have a folder containing all the drivers for a particular system and you point the 'update driver' UI to that location and it finds the right driver itself, now imagine that you choose an option in Device Manager that will rifle through all the drivers in a folder structure you specify and update all the relevant drivers in Device Manager with the drivers from that folder.
