3/3 coworkers, all but one of my gamer friends that have tried Windows 8 (~10). I gave Windows 8 a shot for about 2 months before going back myself. The stats speak for themselves from MSFT's Windows 8 numbers, for the most part people aren't buying Windows 8 except for new PCs which is a forced purchase.

Windows 8 is better in many ways which unfortunately many people do not notice or care. For example how can you not like the hardware acceleration benefits of Windows 8 (desktop) compared to Windows 7? The file system and font handling are also superior to Windows 7 which is huge for people who use a keyboard and mouse. I am only asking because maybe its a graphic card incompatibility that creates these bad experiences. Windows 7 is an awesome OS but Windows 8 is clearly better after using it in desktop mode for a week even on hardware from 2006.
