Default OT. Windows 8 nearly drove me insane

I often think people who design interfaces have forgotten the old adage.
If its not broken, then don't fix it. By all means add a new front end as
an option for touch systems, but leave the rest alone.

I thought I was good with computers but I felt like I'd never used one

It's like someone taking a car and swapping the pedals round, putting the
ignition key in the rear wing and the steering wheel in the glove box. Is
Windows 8 an improvement for some? I'd like to know who they are!!

People whose first experience with a computer was a tablet.

I'm just getting to grips with an Android machine. I'm not* enjoying the
experience
