that doesn't mean they hate it.

It could mean anything. Try eating the same food every day 3 times a day. eventually after few years you will be sick of it and want change

Yup, win 8 is crap and only gets bereable when you finally get used to it.

I know, but I exaggerated the feeling I attributed to her for dramatic effect!

You can tell me, in the past I even got used to Win ME, just to have to abandon it because some new HW and SW I needed or wanted didn't support it, and the same happened with XP, that, unlike Win ME, that became barely bearable with the latest patches, with the second SP had become a decent OS (although Win 2000, if supported longer, could have become better while staying lighter).

Well this thread isn't flamebait at all.

Anyhow, I've been using for Windows 8 for over a year now and put it on several computers. I give it a thumbs up. I especially love how well it performs on low end machines.

I'm quite sure that after some SPs it will become stable and good enough, judging its overall quality without taking into account personal tastes about the way its interface works, but then it will still be a matter of taste, and just like Win 7 had a lot more success than Vista mainly because making Win 7 MS kept in mind users criticisms about its predecessor, the same will likely happen with Win 9 and Win 8. Even if MS will make workarounds for the things of Win 8 not necessarily wrong or bugged, but that users just don't like, those workarounds will become well integrated features in Win 9.

I always thought the complaining about W8 was more of the "don't like change+ Antifanboy "-blabla.
Seems there is more to it .A Vista2 maybe?
