Build the one and true MMC. It should have a high level view that you can drill down into for everything. It should consume RSS/ATOM. I should be able to easily monitor Network Traffic (Think Ethereal) without being some IO nerd. It should show me which programs are talking and to who. It should do an automatic reverse lookup too. The database snap-in should help me manage security settings with a killer graphical representation of security whole and settings. Ah, the Process Manager. More quality information for my Mom. WTF is msdtc.exe my Mom asks and i tell her not to worry about it. But how cool would it be if i could group known processes into a safe processes category that way it is easier for mommy dearest to say "Oh! there is a new process is it good or bad?" Then provide an easy way to report this process to Windows Defender which will help her classify it as trusted or not.
I will update this over time
