I would like Windows 8 to look something like this:

YouTube - ‪Windows 2013 Concept‬‎

:rofl:

And I just really want to start faster beta testing. Remember the good times when we tested Seven

I can only dream. I've been wanting this forever! Messed around a bit with Linux, but too much into gaming and media things. I would pay up to $500 for Windows 8 if they would so something like that, especially wobbly windows, but it seems like it would have to be a complete overhaul and its not practical.

This is already in place thanks to Macrium!!! I love you!!! I don't have a fancy computer and I just did a backup of my OS. which was 15GB worth and it completed in under 4 minutes too, not a SSD just a SATA WD 400GB disk, I love you Macrium and thanks WHS for getting me on board over on Windows 7 Forums.

You are very welcome. I am glad you can make good use of Macrium.

I would like to see an improvement on the Windows 7 Taskbar.

I would like to open any application, change the default settings to the settings I want it to have every time I open it, and right-click the Taskbar button to pin it to the Taskbar.

For example, I would always like to open Windows Wordpad in the "Text Document" mode without manually making changes to the Windows Registry.

This would save us all a lot of time everyday that would be better spent doing other things. This would also save non-technical people from making changes to the registry and take a chance on causing problems with their computer.

I really hope that someone at Microsoft reads this thread.

1. Dual-Pane, Tabbed File Manager.
2. Dual-Pane, Tabbed File Manager.
3. Dual-Pane, Tabbed File Manager!!!
4. Full compatibility with old programs and games. I want to play Loom, Monkey Island, Tex Murphy, Discworld without going through painful guides and tweaks from the web.
5. A Media Player that supports all audio and video containers and formats!
6. A built-in tool for fixing registry problems.
7. A built-in archiver that can at least open and extract all kinds of file compressions (Zip, Rar, Tar, ARJ etc.).
8. An extensive utilities packages like GNU/Linux has.

I hope Microsoft stops developing browsers, there are enough browsers out there and everyone that Microsoft creates seems to have some more and more security problems. At work we have blocked all Internet Explorer browsers because of the amount of viruses and scripts it can run. Instead we use Firefox installed with No Script some people use Chrome as well. I think Microsoft makes a good os but they should focus on the OS part and not as much on the browsers. So IE9 is not needed Microsoft! Also they seem to break the web standard for web development everytime they release another release. Code a site with W3C Standards and load it in IE8. OMG it doesn't display properly. This has been the case and of course we need to add a if ie use ie.css what bullshit is that. Like serious for a software giant to do such a thing I dont get it. Plus IE effects the performance of their OS. If they stopped looking at IE I'm sure they could better the performance even more I know Explorer is used for most of the OS but please please please do NOT add that stupid blue E icon as some of our customers like to call it. Mozilla, Google and Apple have you beat microsoft.

Cheers,
