"Windows 8 is still being disputed as either the product of a genius or a nerdy sadist but that doesn't mean Windows 9 isn't in the works. That said, how would you guys improve Windows if you could change anything about it? Has windows 8 improved or degraded your overall experience of the Windows platform? If you're not a Windows user, what features would you like to see in Windows for possible assimilation?"

    it must be the hardware manufacturer's fault

    Exactly my point. Glad you got it.
    Now, who do you think produced the device driver for that item so that it would run under Windoze? M$?
    Bzzzzt. Wrong. The hardware manufacture who refused to support Linux was the same bunch who produced that Windoze-compatible driver.

    ...and when the next version of Windoze comes out, with its incompatible-with-what-exists driver model, do you think that manufacturer who didn't support Linux will write a driver for Windoze n+1 for your old peripheral? Don't hold your breath; they want you to plunk down yet more cash for the next iteration of their poorly-supported crap.

    ...meanwhile, I have a Pentium 2 still viable (running a supported version of Linux, of course).

    I enjoy being "free" to use whatever hardware I want

    As tangomargarine intimated, you guys who not only enjoy slavery but will willing purchase your own chains are really strange.
