If you're not a Windows user, what features would you like to see in Windows for possible assimilation?"

Glad to hear it's working for you. I recently tried installing Linux as a dual boot on a Windows 8 machine that I had just built. It installed and ran fine in a little nominal use. But when I tried to boot it later from the HDD, it wouldn't boot, I think due to the UEFI issue. So, I kindda lost interest and rebooted into Windows.
In a general sense, this has pretty-much been my experience with Linux over the years, starting with Red Hat 6 many years ago. It always basically works, but there always seems to be some sort of significant snag that I run into - and a different one each time. Last time it was audio, this time it's UEFI. Each problem I've run into is surmountable (including the most recent one), but I end up just going back to Windows.
I admire those of you who either have better luck with Linux or who actually enjoy solving these sorts problems. I keep hoping, so I'll try Linux again in a few months or years.
