I use a PC with Windows 7. I have a Macbook but I'm not crazy about the Office apps on Macbook so use the PC most of the time. This past week, I spilled water on the PC and took it into the shop. I picked-up a back-up ASUS, loaded with Win 8. This was the beginning of my nightmare. 1. Win 8 was just terrible. It took me way too long to figure out how to perform simple actions. Win 8 is Frankenstien - it is Microsoft's attempt to unify the computing experience by (a) copying numerous OS UI elements; (b) slapping a tablet version of their operating system on top of a desktop version; (c) burying elements behind keyboard shortcuts and some gaudy, horrible startup screen that advertises other Microsoft products. In a nutshell, they have built the perfect operating system for a schizophrenic blind person. After a day of cursing out Microsoft while trying to figure out basic things (like getting to the "start" menu), I tried installing Office, the entire reason I still use a PC. I rebooted the PC and voila - Win 8 told me it couldn't start Win 8 and I had to revert to an earlier point in time. I tried doing that and after another hour, Win 8 told me it couldn't do that either and I had to reinstall Win 8. I put the laptop back in its box and returned it and just started learning how to use Office on Mac. This is why Microsoft is just pathetic. I feel pathetic for giving Microsoft a chance. This isn't hyperbole: Windows 8 is really a complete and utter failure.
