It is not easy to use and really counter intuitive.

It's actually not that hard to figure out, and in reality, it's actually easier, or as easy as Windows 7 to use. I now have 3 computers at home using Windows 8, and I don't miss Windows 7 at all, since Windows 8 can be used as if it were Windows 7, and as Windows 8 when one wants the new UI or needs the touch capabilities that the UI was designed for. Most times, my PCs are in regular Windows 7 mode, since once you get past the "metro" screen, the computer and OS work the same as the older Windows OSes. Even my non-techie wife, has gotten used to the new OS, and she never even sees a difference between Windows 8 and Window Windows 7. Once she gets to the old UI, it's all the same as before. Heck, even a 3 year old can learn to use Windows 8, and it's really quite intuitive. You might not like the look of the screen, but it's actually quite easy and quite intuitive. And, the whole setup is a lot more useful than any other OS ever. I'm not saying it because I love Microsoft or Windows, but it's mostly because, I fail to see where the complaints have any real merit.

Why do they make us to learn something new and forget what we have already learned each computer we get? I have been dealing with computers since the early 70’s so I suppose that if you just came into computers these pieces of crap are all you know and seem good. I hated XP and now I wish I could put it on my new puter. When you get older you hate each generation pulling the rug out form under you and laugh at you when you fall on your face. You really have no history of computers. So what is UI? Why is it necessary to change things every time a new kid comes into power?
