Ive been having problems with w8 in the last couple of weeks, I believe its driver problems, I uninstalled and put w7, w8 is not ready right now, still needs a good six months to be as solid as w7 so I will wait until then.
Not knocking someone who doesnt like W8, people have different needs but I dont see whats so hard to learn about it, I turn on pc, click on desktop and then start menu/ screen is in bottom left hand corner, thats all I need, done.
