Yeah I tried also. Absolutely hated it. Looks like I'll be on Windows 7 for as long as my games and software support it. Windows 8 looks so much like a joke its not even funny. Who wants to use a OS that looks and feels and acts like its for touch pads...

What besides the Start menu looks like it's for touchpads? You guys haven't even bothered to TRY using it like a normal Windows install (protip: Windows+D).
