To all the people claiming that the only reason "haters" don't like w8 is change, may I remind you that people had no problem switching to w7. They did have a problem with vista, because it was actually bad. But they switched from XP to 7 because it was actually better. Change has nothing to do with it. W8 is badly designed for the average user which makes it a bad product.
(it would have been fine if it was called 7.5 and was a niche option like Linux).
