Windows 8 is actually great once you get used to it. Forget about IE and just download Chrome (that should help with the posting and Pandora issues you are having). If you put your mouse to the right top or bottom of the screen it will bring up a sidebar that has many useful features.

Also download the shell start button which puts the desktop to normal.

Additionally one of the best unknown features of Windows 8 is this: When you're on the metro interface; simply type whatever app or program you want to use and press enter (or pick from the list it brings up).
