What about the file size inconsistencies:
Folder sizes not shown in explorer, this would be useful.
(right now I have installed a program for that and everything works fine)
The horrible mess file(and folder)-sizes are.
In three different places, windows interface shows three different numbers for the size of the same file.
And uses 1024 divisions while using decimal prefixes.
It should be 1024 with binary prefixes or 1000 with decimal prefixes but not a combination.
Most people erroneous assume it's divided by 1000 and powers of them.
Please fix this MS. (How? I don't know put both in it or something.)
shouldn't your computer organize things
@Reporter:
organizing things on the level you ask requires a lot of cognitive capabilities that even state of the art artificial intelligence cannot currently provide.
A computer is a calculator, it can NOT calculate toward a goal WITHOUT knowing the parameters.
In this case, how you want it to be sorted.
6. Update Everything From Everyone, Tell Me Once
@Reporter:
Take a look at Linux package managers.
And package distribution methods with ppa's and archives.
They're in a what modified form what you want.
Seems to me like it's coming: http://coapp.org/
Having a restore that actually works would be very refreshing.
shouldn’t you still be able to undelete the photo you accidentally deleted on the old PC as long as you’ve transferred your information across?
No, it's clear that you don't understand the concept of deleting.
It's bad enough that when deleting stuff, windows doesn't actually deletes it per se.
But making that transferrable opens up a whole can of problems.
(imagine deleted stuff e.g. porn pics accessible without installing software on both computers:
new just-bought and old giving away.)
Battery-life:
More detailed information would be helpful indeed.
(We're going to be needing a standard for that device side and windows api side.)
But to say that windows 8 needs to have more battery life is out of place.
The thing is that battery life depends on the hardware and drivers.
There isn't much MS and Windows can change besides being efficient with hardware.
It all comes down to what windows runs on.
Please don't try to give people the illusion/impression that windows is EVERYTHING makes a device power-hungry or not.
FYI: Running windows 8 for arm was more a matter of building a compiler that produces arm-instructions than anything else.
Web apps:
This one is actually a whish for IE10 or whatever comes after that.
@reporter
Only running signed code?
Well the criminals are just going to steal a certificate then.
The people who need measures like this won't be able to defend themselves against that because they would be too unwilling to check things like owner of the certificate and google it.
What you suggest could be even making it easier for hackers since people have now a false sense of security and are more willing to run apps from all kinds of sources.
