Except that I currently don't use any version Windows at all?
But that's beside the point. I am just as productive in Windows 8 as I was in Windows 7, or Linux, or OS X. The only major drawback for using Windows for me is the lack of a real terminal...
And of course Windows 8 has some bad press right now. It's new... hasn't even been out a year yet. It's a game changer. I don't see any other OS developer taking such huge leaps (and risks) to try and bring the world of mobile devices and desktop computers closer together.
For anyone who isn't a complete jackass, it is far better than Windows 7 once you do away with the whole 'Metro' thing. It's just that the world isn't ready for such a huge leap... and people refuse or are incapable to adapt to change. Top that with a seriously lacking App store (Not Microsoft's fault) and the reviews get worse.
But to sit there and cry about how much it "sucks" and is "bad" all because it doesn't have the traditional start button is childish and shows your overall lack of maturity and ability to adapt to change.
Once again, all it takes is to download a small program that gives you a start button, disables 'Metro' if you so choose... and then... BAM you have a newer, faster, more reliable and smarter Windows 7. I mean seriously, what's the big deal anyway? It's not like you don't still have to download and install a bunch of drivers anyway...
Sorry if you can't adapt though. It must make for a very miserable life.
Oh and not to mention, the world is moving in the direction of Tablets and other mobile devices. Shit, in 5 years time there won't be many desktop users left. And guess what? Now was a perfect time to release Windows 8... if you care about being a future player and competitor in the OS scene that is. I mean hell, it's pretty blatantly obvious that Windows 8 was targeted more for the mobile scene than desktop...
