[WIN8] Just how much do people hate Windows 8

Thanks for the link. I always enjoy Ed Bott's articles and that was an intriguing one with interesting conclusions.

One of the replies, led me to learn about Logitech's glass wireless touch pad for Win 8. It looks interesting. After two months of struggling with Win 8 on this new desktop, I installed Start8 and rarely use Metro side now. But if I had this Logitech touch pad maybe I would feel differently.

Had I got it from Amazon I probably would've been one of those early one star voters for XP who gradually came around. Vista and 7 probably would've gotten solid "mehs" from me, especially in hindsight.

8 does still have some annoyances for me. I'm thinking of installing ClassicShell just to move the Start Button up to the top like I've always had it before. Unlike 7 and Vista before it though, 8 provides a much better cost (read:annoyance):benefit ratio. For one, they got rid of the Vista-style start menu I hated.

Like Windows 8 just fine and don't really miss the start button.

At first glace thought I'd miss the start button. But once short cuts for commonly used items are on the task bar and desktop, and understand the corners, the start screen is rarely used.

I just hate the metro interface, so I went with Start8 on mine & my son's laptop, to go directly to the desktop, as things should be.

I'm getting a new laptop in a few weeks and I plan on installing Windows 7 on it as it comes preinstalled with Win8 plus not totally 100% sure some of my hardware will work without issue in Win 8 (music related)

How could you say such a thing. Can't you tell from the thread subject that you're supposed to hate Windows 8. How dare you not be a good little sheeple. You should be banished from the Internet.

Win 8 reminds me of Win Me. I just got a Dell Latitude with Win 7. Its fast, stable, reliable, and looks pretty too! Wait for Win 9, I MO.

Windows 8 desktop is no different than Win7, just faster. Add a third party start button and there is no difference in use.
What is all the fuss?

I love my Windows Phone 8 and my Surface and I'm still happily running Windows 8 on my main development system, so I wouldn't be one of those people that hate Windows 8. Don't get me wrong Windows 7 is a killer OS, but Windows 8 is a platform that allows Windows to become so much more.
