Win8 is the steaming turd due to Metro, aka Windowless 8, a UI optimized for the small screen brought to the large screen.

Yes I know Win8 can be operated in Win7 mode. (Except for how easy it is to accidentally click your way into Metro mode.) What a hugely non-compelling upgrade.

It's like when MS "missed the internet", and went into rabid catch-up mode by trying to make all MS software seem internet aware/friendly. Now, same deal for mobile.
