"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?"

    What you're proposing is already mostly done: it's the Windows App Store. MS gets a big cut of everything. Apple has something nearly identical. On either one, you're limited to what the OS vendor wants you to have access to.

    If you want something like what Linux has, just use Linux. It's that simple. You're never going to get a Debian-like repo system from a proprietary vendor. It's simply not in their interests to provide freedom like that.
