| Win 8 teh blurst

jr0n, that is pretty much my experience too. Very poorly designed UI, with just the oddest, counter-intuitive functionality. I could see it being marginal on a touch screen, but it is hell with a laptop. I helped one friend and also my mother. both of which had no idea what they were getting into. For my mother, I ended up buying a new copy of Win 7 and rolling her back to Win 7. Its really a shame because the guts of Win 8 are more secure, robust and take advantage of technologies natively that Win 7 doesn't. Rumor has it in the next service pack, MS will provide the option to have the start menu and the Aero interface instead of Metro, but that is just rumor at this point I think.
