You and I and many others find exactly the same thing, but there are some who fell in love with round corners, menus and aero. Windows 8 looks especially good on a large TV when used as a HTPC, I also notice a lot of websites are now using the large tiles on their websites as well as sideways scrolling, even Apple websites.
Windows 8 is the future, but some lament for the past, maybe MS should bring out a Windows XP B for those people.
i used to alternate between 7 and 8 for quite a while, but now very seldom go into Windows 7, except to access some older files.
Noting that Windows 8 is but a few months old, it's somewhat twee to call Windows 7 users and those who critique Windows 8 as living in the past. And you still can't help but throw insults at anyone who doesn't see things your way.
No, you're taking my comment as a direct insult to you, what about the 5 Elephant stamps and a brownie to someone who just happens to like Windows 8.
You won't be happy until you can get everyone to hate Windows 8 and that's not going to happen, the world is starting to wake up to the new way of doing things. Even the the Defence Department is going Windows 8.
I'm not insulting anyone just saying it like it is, some people just won't accept the future, and the future is Windows 8.
And it's not just a few months old its been out for around a year on this forum and we've heard all the negatives, now it's time for some positives, like the new wave of convertibles and the new 27" touch screens for businesses.
