The title says it all: What do you want from Windows 8 RTM? Let's try not to turn this into a flame war...

A way to have multiple Metro apps fully visible at the same time on larger screens, instead of only two where one takes up 80% of the space and the other just 20%.

An end to all these ****ing threads..

@.Neo --yeah I like that idea.

1. I want the desktop to be more metrofied
2. Folders for Metro Apps
3. Run metro apps in a window on the desktop

1. Not possible for Windows 8. The desktop will remain similar to Windows 7 to help keep training costs down.
2. These aren't really needed. The Start Screen's capability to group tiles should suffice.
3. Maybe have a WinRT "desktop", where WinRT apps can interact with each other. But Metro apps shouldn't be on the 9x desktop.

I'd like it if the metro apps could talk to the desktop ones. To maintain security they could try to use SkyDrive so an app could write to an AppData folder on SkyDrive that is shared by the desktop application.

Also, better favorite management. As it stands you have to pin your favorites to the home screen. It would be nice if they had an about:favorites page that would show a hierarchal list.

I want Microsoft to finally kill both: old Desktop and this ugly Metro. And create someting new -- useful, nice, flexible, and functional.
I know I'm dreaming. Let's wait for Windows 9.

Guys.

Windows 8 is already in RC stage. There's virtually no way we're getting new/changed features now, the best we can hope for are bugfixes and cosmetic changes.

Greetings! I believe every aspect of Windows 8 is absolutely stunning! However, it does require minute bug fixes and enhancements to improve the overall OS. The enhancements have been listed on this site numerous times and would be redundant to state them again.

On another note, this is a great site! I've been getting all my Windows 8 news here for the past 5 months and decided to join just the other day. Here goes my first post!

A proper desktop would be a good start, rather than what feels like a tablet OS being badly retro-fitted to the desktop.

So you're buying something in the future you already know you want a refund on? At least you're living up to your member title.

The "Windows Black" cursor scheme to be updated aesthetically to match the "Windows Aero" scheme.

A very short product lifespan.

Including a slow and horrible death?
