I have used Windows 8 and although there are features I like such as the .iso mounting support, Microsoft account login, automatic window colour based on background image, different background images on different monitors and many others, I hate the new UI look (aero plz), I hate the tiles, I hate how mouse+keyboard users are basically being told to deal with this clearly touchscreen based OS. Sure, I could *probably* get used to it, doesn't mean I want nor have to.
