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?"

absolutely agree. monopolist mindsets are terrible for a company.
i'm starting to see that in my current employer. they once were #1 in their market and developed all their own proprietary internal protocols and technology. now, years later, competitors are eating their lunch using industry standards. i've had marketing people say in meetings 'if we use industry standards, why would people buy from us?'. obviously, our marketing people have been relying on proprietary lock-in to keep our customers around for years, and that's about to end, and they have no clue how to sell without it.
idiots.
