I guess I may be too experienced for my own good, but I think that Autorun is a supremely bad thing. I really don't need to have Internet Explorer launch a web page that doesn't contain what I need every time I put in a CD -- like say when WNT asks you to insert the CD so that it can install additional features.
I also don't need to expose myself to virii this way. (Remember the Hong Kong worm that used the autostart feature in Apple's QuickTime to pass itself around?)
The other items are good, as long as you don't destory the core functionality of the system. Mac OS and NeXT champions have been having this argument since 1997 over Mac OS X nee Rhapsody.
