Im creating this thread because I came across a rumor that Windows 8 was going to be built with the gamer in mind since Microsoft finally realized that is over half their market. Rumor also has it that it will be cloud based. However, with the could business aside, I thought it would be nice to make a thread and have fellow TPU members post what they would like most out of the next Microsoft release. Here is what I want to see:
If you are going to have more than 1 version of Windows 8, make 3. MAX! Have one for "Home" use (general PC use), have another thats targeted towards gamers/PC enthusiasts, and finally have one aimed towards business. And dont make them rediculously more expensive than the previous. This is where all the pirating starts to originate. Put like a $50 difference between the three.
With the next version of windows, ELIMINATE 32-bit FOREVER! Lets get away from this age old technology and start moving towards native 64-bit computing! Developers will continue to be lazy and not write native 64 bit code for their applications if you (Microsoft) continue to make a 32-bit operating system. (and the excuse that the 32 bit software supports 64-bit does not mean its native 64-bit. I want native) Ill even give you an example. With Windows Vista and Windows 7 64-bit, if you go to the properties of Windows Media Player, you will see that the target path is ""%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Windows Media Player\wmplayer.exe" /prefetch:1. This is the 32-bit version of Windows Media Player. There is in fact 2 versions in the 64-bit version and the other version is native 64-bit.
Thats just to start out. Ill let you guys hammer in some things you would like to see in the next version of Windows. Im interested to see how everyone will weigh in.

EDIT:
Things that absolutely need to be put into the next version of Windows:

EDIT:
Things that absolutely need to be put into the next version of Windows:
- 64-bit only
- Native multi-desktop support
- New file system
- Multi monitor support (for the toolbar)
- Unsupport legacy hardware (motherboards need to follow suit with this as well)
- Either get rid of Alt-Tab in favor of Win key+Tab or vice versa. No need for both
- A better Task Manager
- Software Repository
- Restore gif support to what it was before (not loading in IE)
- Power saving mode needs to be fixed.
- Fix "broken" jpeg rendering errors in picture viewer.
- Removal of Windows Defender (in fact, get rid of any security software built into the OS or give me the option of installing it or not)
- Being able to install the OS on up to 3 or 4 computers (preferably 4) in a household like you can do with Office 2010
- A lightweight install option (with and without Aero)
