"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?"

  Disabling the blurry transparent frames is fairly simple in Windows 7.

  Right-click the desktop, select Personalize, change the theme to Windows 7 Basic or Windows Classic.

  Turns of Aero, therefore not using the GPU for anything really, and disables all the transparency effects.

  That does also turn off some of the nice features of aero, such as being able to mouse over items on the task bar and get a thumbnail view of the application.
