Windows should made Windows 8 OS in such a way that it reducess processing power. This will be adaptation for old Core Processors. Windows 8 should have Glassy transparent look in such a way that it will reduces less power of both Processor and Battery. I hope Microsoft Windows will notice my comment..
I want to see reply about this comment from Microsoft.. Thank you.

I really like the snap to 1/2 of screen feature. However, it would be even better if it worked the other way too. That is to say 1/2 of top and 1/2 of bottom of the screen. That allows a much wider view of excel spreadsheets and project files without scrolling as much.
Thanks

A tag metadata system that isn’t simply aimed at photographers and people cataloging MP3s. The ability to put tags on any file format, be it a video, image, document, spreadsheet, etc., using the same editor

More easily edited Library Icons.

The ability to have clutter free desktops and such is great for some, but Don’t force us to get married to it. I’m of the opposite opinion: I like a bit of clutter here and there. Similarly, don’t force us all into the kind of interface you see on trendoid portable devices. It should easily be switchable to that if people want, but getting rid of a real desktop environment would be the kiss of death for me.

How about the ability to set up shares and permissions that don’t require a PHD in networking. I’m tired of the oft complained of situation in which people aren’t the owners or administrators of their own stuff. Right now it’s just too complicated.

Personally, a clean desktop is a requirement, along with two or more monitors. I love having no icons on the desktop, other than the few: Recycle Bin and a folder I have called “Other” which I organize later.

I fell in love with the Windows 7 Taskbar (aka the Superbar). The productivity rate changed for me beautifully and I was able to complete my many tasks much faster. Yet, with multiple monitors and many applications (around 130), I find it often aggravating to navigate to them via the start menu when the taskbar is full. In Windows XP, you could create a toolbar and drag it out to make a second taskbar, and that feature I LOVED! I cant do that in Windows 7, and have much anger and frustration with icon docking software like ObjectDock and RocketDock because they take more system resources than should be required, and are too much for my taste: Not as simple as the native taskbar. I would LOVE LOVE the option to add multiple Taskbars (this feature being native to Windows 8), and all of them have the same options and features of the original taskbar. I would like to choose how many I would like to have, and place them on whatever monitor I please. This would really help productivity. Google “multiple Taskbars in windows 7″ and you will find that many people want software that makes multiple Taskbars that are identical to the default.

I would also love to have a tabbed explorer. When tabbed web browsing came into the playing field, It won the game quickly and easily than having multiple browsers open (Internet explorer 6 to state an example as one that cant). In Windows 7, the folder browsing is very well laid out, and added with the ability to pin them to the sides of the monitor, it helps much! But productivity would be increased if the consumer had the option to have tabbed folders, and be able to drag one file to the other. That is just another idea I would like.

A third idea is for Windows 8 to offer the option to have a tabbed desktop similar to Crunchbang Linux. It is not a big priority, but many people would like the idea :D

They should keep the ability to preview and read/listen to media inside the folder without opening the default application. This was removed from Windows 2000 (songs, videos, etc). It came back in Windows 7 and I was in LOOOVE.

A most wanted feature in windows 8 i want is clip-board history & accidently deleted history items recovery tool
by this feature we can see the what files we are copied & moved. sometimes we copy a important file to pen-driv & delete it from pc,
later we need it urgently & we don’t have that pen-drive then we can view which file was that & we can recover it succesfully.
Sometimes we modifie or replace 1 file to another file then later we
want its previous unmodified version that is important then we can view its original file & replace modified file with original file.
This tool looks like very small but is very very important & most wanted in given situations hope you”windows7themes.net” listen this & provide feedback to microsoft for upcoming windows versions featur improvments.

preview files in zip or winRAR folders, to make sure its not a virus or incorrect programs, simply left click it once to highlight it and the preview will be shown on the right side pane with size, name, and what file extension (that your computer can read and accociate programs with, text, start.exe etc)

built in dvd program to customize the dvd main menu, such as special features, downloads, wallpappers, etc, and allow the user to edit the movie as much as they like (cutting sexual clips for underage, edit profanity, cut out drug related use)and put multiple movies on a single disk

easy to use search bar to find any program out there that can be downloaded for free or trial with ne spam or fake download links (download.cnet, etc) with direct download to place where you need to use or install

in my opinion windows 8 should use minimal use of hard drive space, ram, and cpu usage to maximize speed and multitasking, so you dont watch a movie online and have somthing downloading and the movie starts skipping or slowing down buffering

I would like to see the underlying way that files/folders are stored on the disk and the Windows registry file turned into a relational database structure. The big advantage would be referential integrity along with other advantages I probably just haven’t thought of at the moment.
It seems to me that this would make reorganizing files/folders on my system much simpler. For example; let’s say that I’ve installed allot of programs on drive C, in a folder named “My Programs”. Maybe I would just like to rename the “My Programs” folder to “All My Programs” for 1 reason or another or,,, at some point in time, I am running out of space on drive C & would like to move “My Programs” to a separate drive D. Having an RDBM based system would make this reorganization possible. Having referential integrity inherent in an RDBM, all of the registry entries for all of the programs stored in the “My Programs” folder would be updated appropriately as well as the actual locations of all of the programs on the disk.
I don’t know if my example, and it was just an example, makes any sense to anyone else, but I often times would like to rename/change locations of things on my system & it’s not a simple thing to do with the present day architecture of Windows.
