"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?"

This bullshit is why I no longer run Windows. More than once, I have had a perfectly good computer bricked because Microsoft suddenly decided it was no longer "genuine". I mostly run Linux, but still have some programs which don't yet work with Wine. Plus, having up to date Windows skills is still useful for me. But not if I have to go to TPB to get a cracked version of an O/S I already have. It just isn't worth the hassle.

The day I heard about product activation on an OS was the day I made a commitment to assure that another dime of mine never made it to Redmond.
When I heard about M$'s dumb blame-the-user [google.com] attempt at copying sudo with Visduh, that convinced me that I had made the right decision.
As for WGA, if I want my OS to be annoying, I can install that "feature" myself [linuxgenui...antage.org].
