Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I've got XP again.
Tried 7, it was ok, but still prefer XP. Everything still works. When there's stuff I want that won't work on XP, I might try 8.
But it will probably be 9 or 10 by then.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

How bad can it possibly be? I kinda want to install it just to see what all the hate is about.

Depends on what you want to do. If you want to surf the web and watch videos, it's ace. Interactive TV really, like I said. Funny thing is TV manufacturers are already ahead of them, producing smart-TVs with much of the same functionality.

If you really can't stand it (and I can't) here's a guide to making a sort of faux W7 desktop.

No hate here. I think most people are afraid of change. Change is bad, m'kay.

Change okay, lost of functionality and change for the sake of change, less so.

Not me. I am a so called 'early adopter' and always have been. W8 treats you like an idiot though and I really don't like it.

Well, I think it's change for the sake of touch screens, actually.

But yeah, if you don't have a touch screen, there is probably no point in switching to 8.
