Which has been met with very harsh criticism from just about everyone. The changes make the OS harder to use for the overwhelming majority. It's a complicated mess now, and the majority of users can't adjust to the new metro BS and the lack of a normal desktop at launch. So much so, that M$ is reportedly reverting back to the old Start button and desktop mode in the upcoming 8.1 update. That itself is acknowledgement that they ****ed up bad and they know it.
Under the aesthetics, Win8 is a solid OS. But they screwed up with the metro interface so completely that it negates the good things about the OS for just about everyone.

No ****ing shit. I got a new laptop for my wife's financial machine for her business, and it has 8 on it. I've FINALLY gotten it customized where I can bear it... but holy ****ing shit. I've never been so frustrated in my life. The swipe touchpad drove me absolutely bonkers. I'd just be navigating the cursor with the touchpad, and suddenly I'd be at the metro screen.
