14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 10 is work in progress at Microsoft, so it's pretty clear that not all details are available right now despite the avalanche of rumors that have reached our ears in the last couple of months.
People close to the matter revealed earlier this year that Microsoft was at least considering making Windows 10 free of charge for users who are already running Windows 8.1 and even Windows 7 on their computers, so this dramatic change obviously caught the attention of many people out there.
A post on Microsoft's UserVoice platform, which was specifically created with the goal of getting feedback from users, also calls for the software giant to make Windows 10 a free upgrade from Windows 8 and 8.1, but surprisingly, it's not really the most voted request right now.
You would expect a free Windows 10 license request to be a lot more appealing to people willing to upgrade to the new operating system, but it turns out that users actually rather want the new product to look good and work better than to get a freeware license. This would come as a bonus, some say, and they're obviously right at some level.
Only 16K+ votes right now
This particular request currently has around 16,000 votes, and as things go right now, little is likely to change in the coming months, as most of the votes are going to the other feedback entries posted by users.
“So what do users want to see in Windows 10?” you could ask. Well, believe it or not, but at this point the number one request is to bring the Persian calendar to Windows. This is not only the top ranked request on UserVoice, but also the one with the biggest number of comments, as nearly 700 people left a message to tell Microsoft to implement this feature.
The second calls for Microsoft to give the people of Iran access to the Microsoft Store, while the third is again involving Persian language support, this time for Cortana.
With nearly 19,000 votes, tabs in Windows Explorer is the fourth most popular request right now, and by the looks of it, Microsoft might actually make this happen in the operating system before it hits the market.
The company has already made some subtle changes to Windows 10's File Explorer, but it remains to be seen if more significant improvements, such as tab support in the file manager, could be implemented before the OS hits the shelves in 2015.
