MS requested feedback for Windows 10 Tech Preview. MS has even opened its OWN Windows suggestion page at the Uservoice feedback site here: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-feature-suggestions/filters/top

Cortana got to keep its name from requests on that site, so they’re watching it closely and listening (for a change).

Paul Thurrott has put together his tabulation of the top ten W10 results as well using ‘like’ votes to rank them. You can find them here: http://winsupersite.com/windows-10/here-are-top-user-requests-windows-10
