Do you like Windows 8?

Who likes windows 8. I hate it and don't see what all the hype is about

Update:

I don't intend to upgrade I am just asking to see what peoples opinions are on it - an improvement in some areas yes. But on a whole that is exactly what it is for tablets and touchscreens now if. It won't be much faster than 7 if you have to use touch screen to do everything and before someone says it yes I know you can use a mouse and a keyboard - even though it is still a nightmare to navigate through compared to 7

    I think it is just like the question - do you like celery? I mean some do, some don't. I do (like Windows 8 - not celery, Yuck!) but it is whatever your personal preference is. It is OK but I find myself using the desktop app alot because it is not tailored to Desktops and Laptops but the metro style does give a nice clean and refreshing look. In general it is OK (for speed etc.) but for the price! No!

    in case you didn´t like 8 you're no longer on my own, stay with 7, those reward of booting velocity are no longer a brilliant deal a minute to look ahead to 7 is via much greater suitable than carry on with a product which you do unlike, the 2d advantage of mounting isos that for me isn't an benefit by using fact there are various classes that do skinny between my widespread is daemon methods. in case you already attempt linux and you do no longer like it i won't recomnd something by using fact I definitely have by no skill use debian yet ubuntu is a competent one for me, you could acquire WinE and playonlinux and run the basics on ubuntu, like place of work.

    Why do you hate it? Here, read this http://lifehacker.com/5955229/why-does-everyone-ha...

    Windows 8 is a HUGE improvement over current tablet, phone, and PC operating systems. And if you don't like it, don't upgrade.

    well it work fine on a touchscreen tablet but it will be really hard to use on a laptop or desktop computer - windows have really failed on this one, lets hope someone gets sacked over this and windows goes back to making traditional operating systems for laptops and desktops

    i hate it aswell. behind the scenes of it, its the same as its former operating systems. they have just changed the looks.

    its fine for tablets and phones, but for a PC it just doesn't work for me.
