Truth be told, when I bought my Windows 8 laptop I too was going to dump it for Windows 7, but a funny thing happened.... I played around with 8 and liked it. And no, my laptop is not touch screen.
Yes, I understand this is your opinion. I just think some of the vitriol is a bit overdone, especially by those who haven't actually used the OS.
And again, the "slump" in PC sales is just a side tracking excuse to dump on 8. It's pretty much universally acknowledged that the real cause of PC sales are tablets.
What you could say, that "may" be partially true, is that Windows 8 didn't help PC sales. That would be more accurate than out and out blaming 8 for the desktop PC's declining sales.
As for no liking 8, that's your prerogative. People said the same thing about 7, XP, 2K, 98, 95. Some people don't like change, I get it.
My two cents.
