> Not sure why so many people rag on Win 8... I use Start8 and never look at a metro tile (other than on my phone) and it's just like the XP experience, but better.

Windows 8 is a fine operating system under the hood.

However, the hood sucks swamp water on a desktop or laptop, and it's hard for the average user to get it open enough to experience the nice operating system under the hood.

Get this into your head: Windows 8 users don't hate the operating system, they hate the User Interface.

PERIOD.

If you put the Metro UI on XP or Win7, they'd hate XP or Win7.

If you put the XP or Win7 UIs on Windows 8, they'd love Win8.

It's really not hard to understand.

Microsoft screwed the pooch bigtime with Metro.

And your use of "Start8" proves it.

No hard feelings, but you answered your own point! :)

You have wasted 80 words. Please tell me how Windows 8 sucks after you install a 3rd party start button which also restores ye ol familiar desktop? I really want to know.

I can’t find a thing wrong with 8 after installing a start button. Please tell me what you don’t like.
