Microsoft has encouraged users to give feedback for their Windows 10 technical preview, and one way they facilitate that idea is with a UserVoice forum, where you can leave feedback yourself, as well as vote and comment on others’. Here are the top 15 current suggestions:

As you can see, a lot of international users want a more optimized experience that is on par with the US version. Some of the feedback, however, is overly optimistic, and somewhat misguided. For example, making Windows free will depend on financial analysis, it is not really something you can request. Notepad priority is probably pretty low, as there is a lot of competition from coding (sublime text, Notepad++, Visual Studios, etc.) and editing (Microsoft’s own Word, OneNote, etc.) perspectives — however, a desktop app store could give easy access to those alternatives and reduce complaints.

The codec and file support feedback is the same since Windows 7. Not all these formats are free, and Microsoft isn’t very open as to why they don’t ship them out of the box. I am assuming it’s not much different to why they no longer support DVD playback — licensing. You can download alternative players that either license all the different technologies, or rely on open source projects, such as VLC, in countries where the law is different than the US (VLC’s justification: “Neither French law nor European conventions recognize software as patentable … Therefore, software patents licenses do not apply on VideoLAN software”).

You can view all the feedback, and submit your ownhere. This is only one of the ways to provide feedback, and since anyone can vote or submit, probably not as specific to Windows 10 as the feedback received through the operating system’s built-in mechanism.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
