"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?"

    I don't think your dream is that far off from being realized, though I worry that it'll look more like the iOS walled garden with the official repository whitelisted, everything else blocked, for the "protection" of the users.

    It's already what they've moved toward in the mobile market on ARM devices.

    If they went with everything blocked by default, with a big fat disclaimer to override that default (much like Android warns when you install from third party sources), I wouldn't complain much about that. We'll see where the MS heads take it.
