Gathering feedback from the field (WaaS - Branches, Apps)
Hi together,
all my previous customers asked me how to gather feedback internally from the field when moving to Windows 10 with the WaaS model.
Microsoft (we) should provide a tool where end users can send feedback internally regarding to the current branches. Here it should be possible to divide this feedback into 2 parts - OS feedback and Application feedback. Also a LOB-App-List should be possible to attach. So the end user in the field chooses between OS or App, which are predefined and provides feedback in a traffic light style with standardized error values e.g. not working, performance…

Different colors in files
Different Colors for various files in a folder to have a better overview of your files and documents.
If you create a folder, in which you want to highlight several files, it would be an enormous help to be able to mark your files in various colors, so you can find them easier and have a better time organizing your documents5 votes -

Allow KMS to Store Computer Name and Last Activation Date in WID / SSEE
Inventory is always a challenge and KMS is a great opportunity to help. Add an option to allow KMS to store computer name and last activation date in WID / SSEE Windows Integrated Database. Update slmgr.vbs to add an option to export a text file from the database. If the KMS protocol transmits other information such as Windows OS version or Microsoft Office version, also store this in the database.
Thanks
Steven

Disable Hardware Offloads By Default
The vast majority of issues I encounter in the Hyper-V community, are related to hardware offloads such as VMQ and ODX. Microsoft is relying on drivers and firmwares that OEMs are either releasing with incorrect default configurations (VMQ enabled on 1 GbE NICs) or buggy releases (ODX corrupting VHD/X files). And to be honest, I'm thinking of getting business cards printed with "turn off VMQ" and "turn off ODX" on them.
The customers blame Microsoft because "Hyper-V is buggy". It's time to shift the blame on OEMs and to stop giving us the tired line of "we're working with OEMs".…

GPO for default programs
Edge is potentially awesome, but COMPLETELY unfinished at Win 10 RTM, and until finished, unusable. Even as a consumer, after hours, I can't use Edge because it doesn't support IE features I use.
This is the ONLY significant impediment to adopting Win 10, here.
I need to be able to set IE11 as the default browser through GPO until Edge can truly replace it.
Give me granular filetype/protocol selections and I'll only set IE11 as the default where I need it.
But give ME the control, or we will stay on Win 7 until Edge is finished.

Enable Roaming Profiles to have START Right Click Context Menu "WinX"
Move "C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX" to "C:\Users<Username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\WinX"
Roaming User Profiles constantly lost right click context menu capability on start button. This capability should be improved on Roaming Profiles by now. Currently, we need copy the WinX folder from Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WinX to the user using logon script constantly.
Its time for an improvement on thandling this WinX folder for Roaming Profiles and add a feature on GPO to include or exclude synchronization if needed.

Please Stop Using Ugly Aero Lite Theme in Windows Server
The Aero Lite theme looks ugly and does not represent the client version (Windows 10) of the OS. Please just use regular Windows 10 theme. It is critical in RDS servers that the experience is the same with the client version of the OS. I understand that GUI on Server is very bad but the RDS role requires a GUI.

Why a mobile user interface on Windows Server?
Why Microsoft develop a mobile user interface on a server operating system. Its unuseable, unpractical and without any comon sense.

Please add install GUI option and provide all powershell options as GUI selectables
During the installation please allow GUI as an option. Also please include most if not all hidden powershell commands as GUI options. It doesn't have to be pretty, but being able to check some boxes with advanced options instead of having to learn all the powershell commands each time would save time (example would be Storage Pools).

Super Fine application control
In Windows 2000 Advanced Server/Datacenter Server, User could set very fine controls for all applications running or applications that will launch at specific time/interval.
User could set:
Affinity
Priority
Memory Usage
Other fine control settingsNewer Windows versions removed this feature called "Process Control app UI", I hope in Windows Server 2016 we can get this functionality back so user can set super fine control for each application / process / filter / directshow filter .. etc

Decouple Windows Media Stack from Desktop Experience
Some Products requiere Windows Media Services as a prerequisite for Installation (for example Exchange Server). Currently you have to install Dekstop Expirience to get these Services.
The downside of this is, that Applications which require these services are automatically required to run with a GUI (no server core support because of Desktop experience prerequisites)
