Top 10 requested features for Windows 10

from JoeUser Forums

 

MS requested feedback for Windows 10 Tech Preview. MS has even opened its OWN Windows suggestion page at the Uservoice feedback site here: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-feature-suggestions/filters/top

Cortana got to keep its name from requests on that site, so they’re watching it closely and listening (for a change).

Paul Thurrott has put together his tabulation of the top ten W10 results as well using ‘like’ votes to rank them. You can find them here: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/here-are-top-user-requests-windows-10

Some of these suggestions are really good.

According to gHacks, the Top 20 suggestions (as of 10/16) on Uservoice were:

  1. Add tabs to Windows Explorer / File Explorer.
  2. Make Windows Update the one stop for all drivers.
  3. Bring back Aero Glass from Windows 8 Developer Preview.
  4. Redesign & replace all Aero-themed objects in Windows 10.
  5. Add Persian calendar to Windows.
  6. Provide a better Notepad application.
  7. Make Windows free for everyone.
  8. A modern plugin experience for Internet Explorer.
  9. Bind programs to specific audio outputs.
  10. Pin anything to the start screen.
  11. Live background images with animations or live streams.
  12. Built-in support for multiple codecs such as mkv.
  13. Drag applications to another virtual desktop.
  14. Create custom live tiles.
  15. Add Adobe format thumbnails support, create a universal preview tool.
  16. Merge PC Settings and Control Panel.
  17. Add Cortana to Windows.
  18. Ability to customize the login screen.
  19. OneDrive app should include shared folders.
  20. Fix Thumbnail Cache automatic deletion problem.

    I hope they dont reimplement Aero, to many issues, if they do they should make it optional, so that older Hardware is still able to make use of the OS.
