I bought Windows 8 when it was released and mostly had the same finding. Never used a single metro app and the desktop experience was degraded from Windows 7. No start button, lack of shadows behind windows made everything confusing, control panel issues, etc. But the moment I decided to stop using it was when I had to copy and paste a very long random user/pass into a new vpn connection. Have you tried this? It's not possible. When you leave the vpn creation window to copy the password, it forgets the username. I've had enough. I'm back on Windows 7.
