windows 8?????
Don’t make windows 8 like the other operating system ,make it gorgeous/beautiful/splendid,cheap and capable of running in normal PC using less REM (256MB)and Hard disk(as low as possible).
there should be an option for taskbar switch to mac style or windows style making graphical interface more attractive.
well windows 8 will be supporting 128bit computing and the major different with other windows OS releases will be “no taskbar” new winFS platform and will be “fully customizable”.
Manish 128bit support for Windows 8 are just the rumors and let’s see what other changes are introduced in next OS
To Microsoft,
I am Varun.
My suggestion is that we wil include Microsoft Plus Superpack edition in Win 8.
We will make taskbar look like which is in Win XP.
We will write start in left hand side.
We will make Win 8 compatible with pentium 4 processor.
My e mail is varunb120891@gmail.com
Please mail me for any other suggestions.
You all keep bit size as same as win 7(32 bit and 64 bit).
We will include Internet Explorer 11 in win 8.
We will include Windows Media Player 14 in it.
We will make win 8 compatible with Intel(R) 82845G/GL Graphics Controler, Avance AC97 audio driver.
System Requirements for Windows 8
1.gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor.
2.1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit).
3.17 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 21 GB (64-bit).
4.Intel(R) 82845G/GL Graphics Controler.
5.Avance AC97 audio driver.
add a zooming algorithm that increase pix of image.
i write a program by MATLAB for this work that can use in picture preview.

Now I am running windows 7 in my computer.
I is working fine.
I liked the features of win 7.
Windows 7 is very good.
we will make win 8 in the form of pen drive instead of cd
They should really leave the Windows 7 look and feel behind for Windows 8 and go back to the Windows Vista (mostly) look and feel (NOT USAGE)!! Vista was absolutely gorgeous!
Hey, Varun R u working for Windows 8 team?
or what ..your comment makes it kinda hazy, plz let me know …
window 8 beta should work on asus motherboard
because when window 7 beta was released
it was not working on asus motherboard p5kpl-cm
I tried windows 7 but it is being crashed after 6 days after install.
What should be done?
Do not allow win 8 to crash.
anant it depends on your motherboard, it may not be compatible with Windows 7,so it wont even work with next OS. @Varun I have been using the RTM version since September and haven’t rebooted my laptop till yet,it is probably the longest time I am using the same Windows without rebooting and still it’s pretty stable
Dear Microsoft
Hopefully you will take my suggestion seriously.
I am using Windows since 95. So I have seen the development of this software. I have some suggestions to improve it.
1. make the taskbar reorderable. That means if I open a new word document after other program than it will be kept after it in the taskbar. Of course windows can organize it as it likes but I would like to do it as I like.
2. Make keyboard customizable. I mean for any key any function, any combination. Both windows and program specific.
3. Surely you should include multiple desktop feature.
4. And on the top. Why are you using binary system to run a PC. You could use trinary based on three (plus, minus & 0) or even octadic system based on eight shades of light (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta, white & black). In this way you could increase speed by multiples. Just consider the binary 2, 4, 8, and trinary 3, 9… in the second stage is more than double of the binary, what to speak of at the stages of Gigabits.
Hopefully someone will consider these points and make windows better. I mean much much better.

I hope that you will send me a free copy of windows 8.

My suggestions surely will earn you a lots of money.
A greate windows 8 shold be able to run any game from all earlyer windows.
The new win 8 have have to learn from it’s everyday user. So after using the computer for a week or more, the computer sould be able to tell the user if any adisjonal hardware should be added. RAM etc.
The computer should be able to adjust every the settings by itself from gadering information during the use of its owner.
The new windows should have a grate included office pacage because the price of each the win + office is to greate for moust people.
You vill get a lot more byers this way and less piracy.
You should also make shure that every contry is given a max price, this is moust important for people in countryes like norway.
The new win 8 should have a built inn warning about duplicate files.
win 8 chould be able to chouse the best program for each single job.
win 8 should have a intergrated zip program for any zip file.
If you are trying to make the win 8 as wersitail as posible in stad of trying to find limits to wourk inside. the win 8 vill be the best oerating system ever.
The maker of the operatingprogram has to underst that moust people do not have a lot of computer skils. So think easy, like making a program for a child.
Good luck with win 8.
Something non dream able!
Hey. My suggestion is that you re-add microsoft dreamscene to windows 8. Vista ultimate had it but it was sadly removed form windows 7. The motion backgrounds make the desktop more attractive and and interesting. I currently have a patched version of it running on my windows 7 and am loving it. Besides, static backgrounds are so boring and over done. Also don’t make the interface look like any previous windows version (eg, windows 7 looking like windows vista), redo the start button and start menu. Keep the see-through effects though, not the same as the previous versions but similar, it makes for a more enjoyable, aethstically pleasing and modern working experience.
so simple, make windows 8 free from bugs…
Windows 8!
Windows 8 should have more customizable options.!
No NEED of third party software
And a very fast boot time!
Sevgili Microsoft;
Bu yeni i?letim sisteminizde umar?m hareketli animasyonlar daha fazlad?r.pencere küçültme büyütme efektleri daha göz al?c? olur.simgeler ve buttonlar çok canl? ve parlak olur.bütün dosya ve klasörler slaytlarla aç?l?r.görkemli bir ?ekilde ekrana gelirler.en çok istedi?im ise pencereler aras?nda geçi? 3B daha da geli?tirilebilir.farkl? geçi?ler eklenebilir.A tabi yaz?l?m?da iyi olamal? bütün oyunlar? kad?rmal? ve benim captain claw ad?nda bir oyunum var win.vista services pack2 kadar aç?l?yordu ama win7 de çal??m?yor ve program uyumsuz hatas? al?yorum.ben ?unada inan?yorum vista beni ?a??tt?. win7 daha da ?a??rtt?. buna gerçekten inan?yorum win8 inanamayaca??m kadar beni ?a??rtacak.o zaman böyle bir i?letim sistemi ucuz olmamal?d?r diyip bana kal?rsa sistem gereksinimleri bu ?ekilde s?ralanmal?;
cpu:intel dual core 2.0 ghz (32,64 bit), amd x2 2.0 ghz (32,64 bit)
ram:2gb ,oyunlar için 3gb , ideal 4gb min=1 gb
hdd: 32 bit için 40GB 64 bit için 60GB kulan?lacak prog. göre 100GB
C:\ sürücüsü olaml?.
gpu:min 256 (ati,nvidia)
ve daha fazla özelle?tirilebilir olamal?d?r.Win vista ve 7 iyi ama en iyisi win8 olaml?d?r.
ayr?ca sistemin cd\dvd kopya ç?kart?lmas?na izin vermeyin.orjinal kullan?ls?n.siteme görede virüs olmas?n.Yüksek düzeyde internetteki sald?ralara kar?? kalkan? olsun.
En son ise bir az daha erken çiksa ve biz alsak denesek çok güzel olurdu.bu kadar.
plz install all the fonts in windows 8 specially indian fonts.
make it compatible with graphic card
Well one thing i’d really love for Win8 is to be able to set a password for active windows so that if someone tried to close them, you would need a passord. This should be easy to do like from the menu bar or something, under tools/tasks/etc, or under edit, or file or something.
Also, it would be fun to have 3d desktop backgrounds. Literally 3d and you can even move it around using the mouse or something to see the rest of the background. Movement could be an option within the right-click menu or whatever its called, in where you right-click an empty space on the desktop and choose the option “move background” or something, and then a button on the keyboard or a button on the mouse could return it back to normal.
Win8 could also come with entire award-winning, great, and/or staff picked books that people would like to read when they start out using their new computer (or new system). The book/s could be in My Books or something in My Documents along with the other “My’s” like My Pictures, My Videos, My Music, My Etc.
I would love it if Microsoft could finally, after lots of Windows systems, let you call file and folders with all those symbols you arent allowed to put in for some stupid reason, like / and other ones that dont come to mind right now. Seriouly I dont see the problem in letting all those symbols able to be in files and folders’ names.
Here is a smart idea go a lil upity on your gui front end perhaps even make window positioning smart as in symmetrical when it comes to positioning, now that we have gui out of the way. Get rid of the registry way of doing things if you seriously care about kernel security. Integrate smart managers that can allow indexing of files and directories, searching alone does little justice if it doesn’t know its alphabet it should take 10 seconds not 10 years. Find a way around System and System32 way of handling dll files, its like your purposely letting hackers rape the OS. Linked libraries should have a 3rd party handler, so anything fed to the kernel should not be an absolute direct link as the name implies.
Last but not least fire Ballmer!!
Waiting patiently
need to have an realy good elasticy to personalizate the next windows, very flexible in the personalizating area
can Win 8 ac as a RTOS ? would like to haev that with a faster boot time.
