IDLE is very much not improved on Windows.
Ned and Paul were talking about 3.4 Mac OS X improvements. I do not remember there being any Windows-specific fixes since the April/May releases. I hope there will be some before 3.4.0, 3.3.3, and 2.7.6 are released.

Ditto. It works fine for me, so there is something different about your system. I routinely run Idle from the current repository to make sure it is working and to get the benefit of the latest patches.
I started up IDLE and examined the IDLE configuration options. I set and applied Startup Preferences to Open Shell Window and Autosave Preferences to No Prompt.
My configuration was already set that way. I thought [x] Open Shell is default, but maybe not. I know [x] No Prompt is not default, but I set that long ago and it carried over.

introduced by Guilleherme Polo (If file has never been saved, Prompt to Save or No prompt; If file has been saved before Prompt to Save or no prompt; On first error Bring shell forward or Do nothing).
I do not know what this is about. I presume you are talking about a proposed patch that has not been applied here. I do not remember seeing it. I looked for an issue but could not find one.
I created a new edit window and wrote a tiny test program and tried to run by pressing F5. As expected but not desired, I was required to save the file, which I did.
I gather that you are saying that the NoPrompt configuration change does not take effect immediately, but you wish it did. I agree that this would be good.
The IDLE window immediately quit. If I restart IDLE I now start in an edit window, but when I try to open a file IDLE immediately quits.
To see and report a traceback, start Idle in a console window with 'python -m idlelib' or in a console interpreter with 'import idlelib.idle'.
