Layout liking etc is down to person in question,I've to disagree on crashes,slowness etc of Win8 compared to Win7,I've purchased and used both since day one,with respect sounds like PEBCAK or another issue.
Same here, I've used both 7 and 8 since their respective launches. 8 is far more efficient than 7 in terms of CPU and memory, the only thing I miss slightly is aero glass. I didn't miss the start menu as I never used it in 7.
I won't call PEBCAK without knowing all the facts though
