One thing that's really annoying me about certain apps, particularly ones which are essentially browser based services, they don't let you use the computer how you should be able to. Stuff like copying images from the app, or copying text, is not permitted, and it sucks, although this is offtopic.
Ultimately, with a bit more emphasis on the store, things can improve. I'm not holding my breath, and to be honest, I get the feeling that Windows 10 S won't see enormous success, but I do get the feeling that it will succeed in its purpose; promoting the app store.
Kind of how windows RT was a flop, but that didn't mean that the surface line was a disaster.
Their was a commercial Linux distro years ago called BeOS, that had built in to the app system the ability to copy and past anything, from anything, to anything. You could literally get a picture from one app, and paste it to the surface of a 3d object in another app, with none of it being coded for in the app.
Obviously the platform never took off, although years later people are starting to copy its, first to market idea of "tabs" (it had tabs for window management, system wide, before they even appeared in browsers)
It was also the first OS to ultilizing multi-core at an OS level. Well ahead of its time in many ways.
