Uh, we've been trained for graphical interfaces over the last 30 years. It's difficult to see where a change would be an obvious improvement.
(I've experienced 8.0 and found it to be NO BIG DEAL.

I’m with you re Mac, but I’m sure disappointed in how things are sliding downhill quickly since Jobs passed. The UI in iTunes 11 is incomprehensible and there are many, many synch problems between iTunes and iPhones running IOS 6 and 7. Buggy products are being released with insufficient testing — things that would have led to wholesale firings under Jobs. I hope they are able to right their ship.

Seven works fine on my desktop. I tried 8; back to 7

Change for the sake of change is killing Windows.
They have reached a point where they cannot add actual improvements, so they just change things to give the appearance of being improvements. By doing so, they make computer use more complicated.
Many people still do more that just read email and load web pages. They actually use their computers to do productive work.
Mozilla is doing similar with their Firefox rapid release insanity. They took a good browser and have been trying to kill it since about version 7.

This may also suggest that they have finally acknowledged that many of the critics wanted a traditional Windows desktop interface and that the majority might not yet own a touch screen....or ever wish to.
