Windows 8 really is a bad os! Purchased two new laptops, Acer Aspire M Ultrabooks, for my wife and myself this Christmas and for two hours I tried to like the os but every bit of me was screaming wtf. So I took mine to Pyramid Computer and had them install Windows 7 for me to keep my sanity. Wife didn't want hers to be converted but I'm sure in a few weeks time she will ask me to install Windows 7. Windows 8 for tablets sure but for laptops and desktops it should be illegal in my opinion anyways.
