Because ordinary people don't like it and don't want to do "simple downloads" to fix it.

Visually Windows 8 is nice, simple and slick. It only lacks a start button which btw Windows 8.1 upgrade did not really remedy. Win 8 still needs that start button download to bypass the tiles which are really for tablets and phones. If MS was smart they would have built a start button option into Windows 8. But>>>I suppose they wanted the same look across their spectrum. MS websites and outlook.com email copy the simple graphic look (GUI) of Windows 8

As long as Windows is pushing Windows 8 for their tablets they will always suck.... try taking most windows apps and just twist from portrait to landscape and back.... I know they are trying with Metro but its a disaster.
