OSNews, Generic OSes It's time for another "OSNews asks" item. This time, I want to focus on something that I've been wanting to talk about with you all before, but never found the time for. The question is simple: which feature(s) from other operating systems would you like to see in your own main operating system?

In Windows
i hate that you can't alt drag and when there are popup windows that block you moving the originating window.

I hate the network and sharing centre, i hate the way it organises default applications and file types. (a nautilus open with tab would be a god send)

but as i use it for work and to play dawn of war 2, windows isn't really driving me insane.

In Linux/Debian/GNOME
middle click drag is something i will never get used to, it's driving me crazy gnome people!

i'd like Debian to keep a strong focus on the freedom aspect of free software,

For linux in general i'd really like to stop hearing about mono, (FYI banshee people, it sucks compared to rhythmbox for the sole reason that i have to use a search box to search my library.)
