"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?"

    The Windows app store locks you to one store, same as OSX and iOS. It's not a repository manager. The Linux repo managers are great in that they allow us to keep software up to date across multiple providers through a central mechanism. The commercial OSes want to limit what you can install and because of that they will always take a hit in security because they require multiple mechanisms.
