The problem is that they took a tablet OS and configured it for
use in a PC, not the other way round.
Even that is a problem to me..... I recently had the chance to
play with Win 8 in a tablet, and I find Android so much easier to
use! 
For someone who used every OS version from Win 95 onwards (like,
everyone) is going to balk at Win 8.
Actually, half the problems stem from the absence of a Start
button, and booting to the Apps page instead of Desktop..... if
Microsoft were to rectify this in their next Service Pack, I can
say that much of the criticism will die down.
For now, I'm going to use a third-party freeware that restores
the Start button and allows me to boot directly to
Desktop.
