14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 10 Technical Preview, no matter the build number, comes with the Feedback app, which allows users to submit feature requests and bug reports directly to Microsoft in order to improve the operating system in the next releases.
In addition to being a very fast communications channel with the company, the Feedback app can also help us determine what users actually expect from the upcoming Windows version, as it's a well-known fact that Microsoft wants to tweak it in order to better tackle customers' needs.
Of course, Microsoft won't implement every single request it gets from users, but at least it does try to make some of them available in Windows 10, but it all depends on the number of votes that each submission gets on UserVoice and in the Feedback app.
Top 5 requests
Here are the five most voted requests rights now:
1. Make the Windows Feedback app available in the final version of Windows 10 too. Users hope that Microsoft would continue listening to their feedback even after Windows 10 reaches the final stage of development, so the Feedback app is the best way to do that. As a result, they hope the app would remain in Windows 10 RTM, but this is very unlikely.
2. Redesign Network Connections and make an option to quickly enable and disable the current network connection. There's no doubt that this is a feature that must be included in Windows 10, and the recently released build 10049 does come with some improvements in this regard by adding a new network fly-out to quickly access settings.
3. Task view should allow users to drag windows between desktops. This feature has already been spotted in some leaked builds and is very likely to be part of Windows 10 RTM.
4. Give Cortana the ability to open programs. Cortana will make its debut on the PC in Windows 10, and Microsoft is working to make the digital assistant as powerful as possible. Since the company will allow Cortana to control music playback, features to launch apps are very likely to be offered too.
5. Resize options for the Start menu. The first Technical Preview builds allowed users to resize the Start menu, but these settings were removed in later updates. It's not yet clear whether Microsoft is planning to bring them back, but certain improvements for the Start menu are still expected
Keep in mind that the final version of Windows 10 is due in the second half of 2015, so Microsoft still has enough time to implement features based on your feedback, so make yourself heard if you want something special in the new OS.
