I don't know why are using Windows 8 without Classic Shell then complaining about its UI.
http://www.classicshell.net/ makes Windows 8 identical to Windows 7 thereby taking away any complaints you may have about its interface. Holding SHIFT then clicking on the Start Button gives you the option to go to the original Windows 8 Tile Metro Interface. A lot of people never actually do that, never actually use Windows 8 in any other way than through the exact same User Interface that Windows 7 has, which Classic Shell installs.
My productivity drops 1000% if I use Windows 8 interface, so if there was no Classic Shell, we would have a problem, but with it, you get to have everything Windows 8 offers, whether you need it or not, all the while keeping the look of Windows 7 from the moment you boot in until you shut down.
You never have to see Windows 8 tiles, ever. Unless you hold SHIFT and click on the Start Button, and there is no need to do that. And if you do, just pressing ESC returns you to Windows 7-looking Windows 8.
So the only problem is spending 15 seconds installing Classic Shell freeware, which takes less time to do than it does to make a 'Windows 8 interface sucks' post
