18 Features Windows Should Have (but Doesn't)

PCWorld writes: Some of the coolest OS features are nowhere to be found in Windows XP or Vista. Here are 18 brilliant features that Microsoft should beg for, borrow, or steal--plus tips on how you can add many of them to your PC now.

somebody tell microsoft about this thing
they were so much concerned with xbox 360 n start forgetting windows

drewdrakes6630d ago

Windows has almost all of those features. Number 3 is the most laughable, have they never heard of Remote Desktop?

aaquib6630d ago

Isn't it funny that OSX has over 12 of the features indicated?

Think Different.

SaiyanFury6630d ago (Edited 6630d ago )

I looked at all those features and I don't see myself using any of them. The only one I could possibly see myself using is Expose. But then again, I'm PC savvy enough to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up my Task Manager, look at the processes running, and identify what program is what. I don't need a Mac program to hold my hand for me and show me what's running. I could also use that ISO burning program, but that's what the internet's for. How hard is it to look for freeware ISO burning software. MS software may be overbloated, but it's not very hard to hit the delete key for crying out loud.

Think Simple.
Think Minimalism.
Think Overpriced.

stupid article, you can do all of those things on a pc. most haven't been embedded into windows because of monopoly laws... third party options give me options, i like the freedom to choose. macs are for stupid people rofl.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing60d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit60d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing60d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9260d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
