Hey, don't rip on Windows 8.
Sure, the interface is bulky.
Sure, it's best suited for a touch screen.
Sure, it's just Windows 7 with an annoying home screen.
Wait. What were we talking about?
In all seriousness, Windows 8 isn't even that bad. It took some configuring to disable auto-launching apps that use the stupid "metro-style" built-in software, and some customization settings are in annoying places, but really it works fine for me.
Plus, the new Task Manager and file transfer windows look quite aesthetically pleasing!
