Agree for sure on this.... Though I've known a few people that don't mind it after a while... Then again they are usually the people that only check Facebook / Emails.

There seems to be a trend with Micro$soft...Win95=Garbage, Win98=Good, Win ME= Oh My! Garbage, WinXP=Good, Vista= yet another fail, Win7= Good, Win8=Garbage, Too confusing. I though to sit down this morning and try to get used to it as its purely for the business and I really can't be stuffed putting 7 on it. Well to do the same amount of things on W8 as what I did using W7 took longer as everything is so messed about. Trying to incorporate an O/S for both pc/ laptops and touch screens makes it very annoying to navigate. I know M/s have fixed a few things and hopefully they will make it easier for dedicated pc/ laptop users but I ain't holding my breath. So for now I need to find all the drivers for this new lappy, not too hard but annoying, then waste hours reloading everything back on.

I have a mate who's the same. He has NFI with computers, but his first laptop is with W8, he struggled at first but now he know how to navigate around it better than me. He only asks me the hows and whys on programs he wants on there.
Edit : Now I'm angry. No Win7 drivers available for this laptop. Only Win8. Bugger.

It was much worse than it is now, when the OS was released. It was purely based on a tablet form, and tiles were so annoying. They are slowly backpedaling into the usual "Start button is KING" form, but it will take a while.
I've built so many systems recently for customers, who unknowingly requested W8 thinking its latest and greatest, only to blast me not long after, and requesting W7 or some form of Linux put on as 8 is so crap.
I've adapted to 8 somewhat. I just stay in the Start button desktop form, and completely ignore the full screen tiles programs, which are mostly only the MS bloatware.

You can get a program that changes the start button from going to that sh!t tile thing, to a similar start menu to win 7. I had it on my desktop when i had 8, then i cracked sh!ts with 8 and went back to 7

Yeah well if only I could go back to 7 I would. Error after error Whilst just trying to update it finally said it was updating upon reboot. 95 updates and three hours later it fails and now its hanging there while it reverts all the changes it had done. I have been told 8.1 is better but I can even get that far. Stupid cufking thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
24hrs later and I'm still raging at it!!!!!!!!

Great start to the day... Nicely rigged up patrol broken down on side of keilor park drive, i pull over ask if he's right and he gives me the arrogant f*** off and mind your own business attitude...
OK. I really hope you dropped a piston or something with an ego like that.
Makes you feel really good coming to work after that.
