I would like a graphing calculator, it’s been far too long that you lacked one for your OS’s.

windows os generally slowers in performance after some months, may be due to updates and viruses, so make it correct. because performance matters a lot.
multitasking, in the sense that two hardware of same type can share the same processor, which means i have 4 pc sets from which 3 doesn’t have any cpu, but 4th pc have a cpu and is a complete pc, and the rest three can perform work independently(internet access, microsoft office, watch movie, etc) using the processor of 4th pc. This will make windows a featured os rather than a tablet os.
moving to style
3d application should be included
each and every setting should be cutomizable after all everyone has its own taste

I just installed the windows 8 beta and one thing I found I needed was the time, however it wasn’t on the start it was only on the desktop…. kinda suck I have to switch to desktop mode to look at the time.

Alsoi know you drag your screen to the right or left side as a side bar but I wish you could move it so it splits the screens inhalf instead of 1/3

Microsoft forgot the basic coding feature. There is no close button. if they could provide an ‘X’ mark somewhere on the screen, it would have been easy to close it rather than pressing alt+F4.
