"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?"

Business companies have no issue with hypocrisy, so they can continue spreading open source propaganda as much as they like. Everything Microsoft produces comes with a toxic stigma. They're a known patent extortionist, and nothing is stopping them from pulling an Oracle stunt and assert copyrights something that doesn't even fall over the galaxy-sized "intellectual property" umbrella that they love so much.
Microsoft - at least as long as Ballmer and his ilk are there - is still a 100% anti-open source company. That fact doesn't change just because they open sourced a library that nobody uses, or Linux drivers for HyperV because not doing so would be suicide for their cloud division.
We've been down this path before. Never trust Microsoft - they're a business company first and will screw you at whatever chance that they can.
