The best one paragraph, 3 sentence description I've come across (http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usability/ http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usab...): As mentioned in the introduction, Windows 8 encompasses two UI styles within one product. Windows 8 on mobile devices and tablets is akin to Dr. Jekyll: a tortured soul hoping for redemption. On a regular PC, Windows 8 is Mr. Hyde: a monster that terrorizes poor office workers and strangles their productivity. I've used it on my mother's Surface Pro (sysadmin stuff), and can't imagine using it on a desktop without major addons etc. The pain of maintaining a Linux desktop is much less for me.
