It boggles the mind how “hard” windows 8 is for these people to the point where they will gladly scream that they will go and switch to Linux or OSX, where you will have to learn a completely 100% different OS.

No wonder the left kicks our butts when it comes to utilizing new tech to further their political agenda. Our side is full of people that get off crowing about how utterly clueless they are, and how they keep using outdated OSs because they dont have the ability to learn anything new.
“I swear every time dayglored posts a new article about Windows 10, at least 50% of the thread is dedicated to Microsoft bashers intent on griping about Windows 8 and even some about Windows 7. “

You haven't installed Mint or Ubuntu , have you? I got Red Hat 5.2 installed on a Dell desktop 15 years ago without having to "configure drivers".
