For the love of all things holy please sticky this so it doesn't get lost and someone creates a new one.
This thread is for use as a central repository of everything we wish is fixed or added to Windows 8.
I'll start:
1. Pure Desktop Mode. People have been wishing for a way to login directly to desktop with a Windows 7-style start menu. I'm pretty sure if Microsoft ever does this it will only be an option in 8 Pro or 8 Enterprise.
2. An improved method of using multiple displays. Having an application quit or something because that window lost focus doesn't cut it for us.
3. Have a Metro-style "Notifications Tray". it could be a subsection of the Charms menu, which would allow you to access currently running background applications (Like Skype or something)
4. Metro system applications. I'd like to me able to use Metro Snap in order to place the calculator beside whatever I'm working on, and have a Metro-style task manager where the Start tile shows usful information (like processor activity, RAM and HDD usage, etc)
