"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?"

You're confusing upper level management goals "client server architecture" etc with lower level implementation like packet filters.
I've worked at plenty of places where "workstations" not attempting to be "servers" at the architectural level none the less run all manner of VNC, SSHd, and some weird proprietary push administration apps that force out anti-virus updates and all manner of things. Don't just say "pull not push" because that can be very inefficient especially week days 9am eastern time, even if the pull response is nothing but "try again in $random_minutes"
Also how would you ensure a kernel exploit level malware equivalent doesn't directly talk to drivers or directly to hardware, or tell lies to your shutdown service...
