It took all of 5 minutes to adjust to Windoes 8. The desktop is there and all the features plus I like the apps like I have on my phone. Not sure what the issue is other than people don’t adjust well

“Not sure what the issue is other than people don’t adjust well”

The issue is that I have no reason to “adjust well” to an OS that doesn’t fit my needs as well as my existing OS.

Maybe this will help you understand, whippersnapper:

Versus a (now) 20-year-old interface that worked and was understood by little old ladies.

Try explaining how to operate Windows 8 to a little old lady for whom you do computer work, whether that’s a neighbor, a fellow church-goer, or worst of all, your Mom.

I'd guess you haven't worked with and on the Windows OS for the past 10, or 15, or 20 years, developing procedures and tools and habits of usage that streamline your work and make you productive. Perhaps you're a gamer, or someone who gets into one application and rarely leaves it, so that you don't actually have to interact with the OS UI.

Whatever. I hope that in time you will begin to understand why most people do not share your attitude.
