New ecosystem opportunities, Windows 8.1 updates shared at Computex

Hello Microsoft!

I want to talk about Surface RT, and give you some useful feedback for Windows 8.1 RT and improving your Product as best as possibile.

The latest May Updates were great for my Surface RT!

Although some old and new issues are still present, and I would like to report them with some new suggestions too.

Well, let's start:

-When I switch between open apps and I'm listening to music or audio (Music app, or Others) the sound lags and crackles for seconds before going back to normal. Many times it happens when launching intensive CPU apps like Office, and it's very annoying: please fix that;

-After waking from Standby (after many hours) the screen fickers with horizontal black bars before going back to the normal Lockscreen. Very ugly thing to see: please fix that too;

-Many 3D games performance are not so solid, please improve the 3D drivers and its performance;

-I noticed that the SoC inside the Surface RT, the NVIDIA Tegra 3, is using only 4 of the 5 Cores of the SoC, and having the 5th companion core Disabled, and not only that: all the four cores are "downclocked" compared to the official Tegra 3 Specs. Please, take advantage of the full Tegra 3 capabilities (5th Companion Core and Full Clock speeds of the 4 Cores), cause Surface RT, despite is already pretty good, needs to be faster and snappier;

-Going to Previous Page in IE10 Metro reload it and fade it for too many seconds: please, stop reloading it and just let it to be loaded back directly from the offline cache, for a faster and more fluid navigation;

-Please, support WebGL APIs in IE;

-Please, don't block "Torrent Clients" from the Store: they are really useful even outside the piracy area, and are totally legal;

-Please, make a valid "Windows Movie Maker" alternative for Windows RT. It really misses a basic video editing tool, and it cannot miss it considering the Surface "producivity" feaures;

-Please, improve "File History" including in its backups even all the System and Apps settings and personalisation (even the most advanced, like the Registry and Servicies ones), so that we can Backup and Restore the Surface even more easily. Or even better: create a "Skydrive Full Settings Backup"!

That's all for now.

And despite all of that, I still consider my Surface RT the best Tablet ever made, and even my best Laptop too, in one single device, and Windows 8 the best OS available yet.

Keep up the great work!

And Thank You. ;)

Hardware partners get a glimpse of Windows 8 at Computex

Hello there!

First of all congratulations on the new visual approach of Windows, it's looking great!

I was really hoping that you guys would have implemented Kinect on the new version, as I believe that it will allow millions of people with handicap to use computers in an easier way, and therefore interact with the world more freely.

Here I leave my wishes that you guys will still reconsider and implement Kinect Controls on the new version. Could even be called Windows Kinect! :)

Just imagine phones and all other kinds of devices using the awesome Kinect for interaction and control.

Another thing would be to get the Sixth-Sense Technology in there as well, but, I think You would have to make a deal with the developer for that! :)

Kind Regards

George
