If you got to add,change,etc anything in Windows 8 what would it be?.

1. Get the Windows 8 and Office 15 UI teams in the same room to decide how the ribbon should look moving forward
   
2. Make the charms bar gesture multi-monitor friendly (make it so it activates within the first 20-50 lines of pixels to the left of the second monitor)
   
3. Better yet, allow for alternative gesture spots. For me, I'd prefer to move to the top-left and slide sideways, and the inverse for the charm bar on my dual-screen setup.
   
4. BETTER yet, any motion in that "play area" of a certain speed should be counted as a gesture activation (and let us configure this, like mouse speed) so that if you're working on monitor 4 of 6, you're not having to find your way back to #1 just to activate it.
   
5. Alt+Tab to be either Expose like or Windows Phone 7 multitasking like. The small thumbs on a 1080p monitor are just jagged mess; make them bigger!
   
6. A clock on "Start" where my name currently is. I know my name, that's superfluous - I can identify whether I'm logged in or not by my profile picture.
   
7. Custom wallpapers on the start screen, with drag and drop controls to allow me to lighten, darken or blur so that it doesn't look crappy against the icons.
   
8. An API (this may exist) for desktop apps to define a Live Tile.
   
9. Resolution Independence
   
10. SkyDrive built into Explorer as well as Metro
    
11. Option for the Metro panorama to go top > bottom rather than left > right (more natural for some people on a scroll wheel, and would allow for Kindle-style screen types more easily).
    
12. Be able to title Start menu groups
    

I am of the opinion, now, that Windows 8 is actually great as a desktop OS, but it needs fine tuning else it's a pain.

Be able to title Start menu groups

Just found you can do that!

I want a feature where you can set any background you want for the Start screen, and have simple photo-editing capabilities in that Metro customization panel (setting tint, blur, saturation, etc). This feature should also slap the user if they choose something ugly.

Problem solved.

complete remove metro, bring back the startmenu... and bring back the classic games. A fullscreen solitaire? :x
