If you are perplexed then you've obviously never tried windows 8 yet, it's a shit ass desktop OS, and an ugly ass tablet OS, in trying to nail both worlds, MS has created a Frankenstein OS that is currently just terrible. They have "A LOT" to fix before release. It brings to the table no other does, a horrible shit piece called Metro UI that you will NEVER see on my tablet, NEVER!

It's also horribly designed and not intuitive in any shape or form ATM, notice I said ATM, it can change, they still have time, for fuck sake MS, fix it! I also don't like the Live service, it's just another way to try to monopolize the software front and their attempt to control the market space like XBL, which is terrible for computer end users and that includes YOU and me.

I don't know what OS you've been using, but I'm loving using Windows 8. The desktop is excellent and so is the start menu and the Metro styling. The only things that could some extra polish are the mouse gestures, and even those work pretty well when you get used to them.

For me, Windows 8 is notably faster and sleeker than Windows 7, and just plain better in many ways.

If I have to spend most of my time in desktop mode because of really heavy multitasking then there is no point to the Metro UI Start Menu, it's just ugly blocks blocking my entire screen. Don't even mention snap, it sucks, big time. It's not an OS built for power desktop users(I'd otherwise be using my phone or tablet, I use my computer when I know I'd have a lot of shit going on besides gaming) and I will never have a 40 inch touch screen to have my finger prints smeared all over the place on. They should have built the desktop and tablet versions not so "seemless" because it's just dumb, the idea might have seemed really cool on paper, but it really is built for tablets and touch devices. They literally layered 2 OS styles together because they don't know what else to fucking do.
