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?"

    Just giving the Start menu back would cover 80% of the problems. I don't want to be stuck with a Windows95 clone interface till the end of days; progress happens, and I like change.

    However, there's a limit to anyone's patience. Most people don't actually want to use a computer; they really want to do something else and the computer is merely a means to that end. Anything that gets in their way, or is unfamiliar, is the problem. Personally, due to work I'm using Win7, WinXP, and various command shells on Linux and Solaris every day, then throw in OSX, Android and MATE for my personal stuff and I'm starting to forget how to do anything, never mind find the time to learn a whole new unintuitive interface.
