I hated Windows 8 so much that I actually went out and bought Windows 7 to install, but my computer refused to install it!! Then my computer went kablooie (just after the six month warranty expired, naturally) and I bought a new computer, this time making SURE it had Windows 7.I remember spending 20 minutes trying to figure out how to close the crappy built-in Windows 8 apps. No "close" or X button, really? I never did figure it out. I always had to ctrl+alt+del and close them from the program manager.Then there were the random windows that would pop open if I moved my mouse "wrong". Urrrrgh.
I've looked at it in the stores, NOPE! I've chatted with our tech team at work and they've said 7 is as far as we are going (they also skipped ME and Vista, thankfully). Just too many problems, and it's not made to be a desktop OS - it's made for mobile devices. It's not the type of OS you sit in front of for 8 hours in an office.
BTW, there is a third party program that makes Windows 8 look and act much more like Windows 7. (You can get the Start button back!) It's called Classic Shell.It's free and doesn't install any ads or viruses as far as I know.
Have you guys seen the previews of Windows 10??? That looks really good Plus it'll be free to upgrade if you have 7 or 8. Glad to know i'm not alone on my 8 hate lol
I do however loath the right side menu that pops up if I move the cursor to the left. I found a way to make it not come up when doing a number of things, but just moving the cursor to the left drives me insane. It happen mostly when I use the touchpad as well..
My Surface keeps prompting me to upgrade to Windows 8 and I keep laughing and clicking "no."

WHOOPS, you opened another invisible menu! Like, I'm already dealing with this tiny touchpad, please do not saddle me with parts of the screen I can't approach or finger swipes I can't do without causing random things to happen.
We've been thinking about getting a new laptop, but the thought of being stuck with Windows 8 on it - we decided to wait.

I wasn't notified about the office switchover when it happened - we came in one morning and everything was migrated and we had Windows 8. OMG it has been a nightmare ever since... I have so much hate for this OS that I have sworn to learn Linux and switch over to Android/Linux stuff after my current home devices die off, because I am done with Microsoft.
