I am not a Win8 user. I was in a Sams Club the other day and saw it for the first time. I can now really see why there's such a negativity against Win8. Personally, it seems that Microsoft has just put a wrapper around Win7 and have eliminated the Start button. Otherwise, it took a few clicks to get out of the Apps wrapper to go back to the usual desktop where everything looks as same as Windows 7.
It doesn't feel like any type of useful innovation at all.
