Win8.1 even with ClassicShell is just okay. Windows XP and 7 were great. I understand for lite users Win8 is fine. But Win8 have like 5 different system settings dialogs and pages and it's a total mess. It feels like Microsoft either really doesn't get it or simply doesn't care that ModernUI doesn't work & look that great on desktop. I will definitely wait how the Win10 launch unfolds and how mature it is. If everything's goes wrong Win7 will last until 2022 when the official update-support ends.

Well, they've obviously heavily revising their approach with Windows 10. But Win 8's primary failing is it's learning curve. Once you know how to deal with it, it's pretty massively superior to Windows 7. A lot of the easy ways to get around in it are kinda hidden though.
