Same here! I never could jump through hoops to begin with! While some are raving how much they "love 8" I find the drastic changes out of the clear blue a royal turnoff like too many others are finding!
Most are asking the same questions in regards to "Why should I need to download or buy a ton of 3rd party wares to do what 7 is already doing for me now?". The blog writes of course are having a field day lashing out at 8 from all angles as well.
The problem with 8 is that MS has been too focused on mobile market shares and comes out with an OS lacking two formats or at least the two types of setups depending on the type of system if not offering a different flavor of 8 for the standard form seen in Windows since actually 3.1 in many ways!
The only "smart move" was improving the default av protection which is enabled if the user lacks a 3rd party software. Some core improvements as far as security, stability, and some possible performance gains come at the expense of losing a desktop form of OS on the down side of all this.
