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?"

  I can live with the Windows update process as it is but I have a similar dream that Linux will one day get plug-and-play - and finally catch up to Windows 95 in that regard ;-)

  But seriously, folks, maybe I'm just confused on this. Does Linux, 1) already have plug-and-play, 2) lack it by design, or 3) lack it because it just isn't there yet? I read an article awhile back that suggested it was 2), but I really don't know, so this is an honest question, not a troll.

  I don't know about (2) and (3), but every I've installed it on a PC (whether it's a desktop, laptop or netbook) everything "just worked" (advertising term borrowed from some computer company or other).

  Sometimes I've had to select one of the installed sound drivers, and the scanner I have tries really hard to not play nice with Linux, but that's it.
