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.

This. I can deal with the new OS, but people like my mother can't and won't. For gods sakes she is still on Vista and I can't get her to upgrade. This is coming though as her pc is on it's last legs and she is going to have to bite the bullet. I told her yesterday I will build her one and I for sure am going to put Windows 7 on it.
