I'm semi-computer literate and have just bought a new mid-range laptop after our previous one was stolen. I thought I hated it because it was an Acer, but no, it's Windows 8. I can't believe how awful it is. It seems to be designed for touch screen devices, but I'm not, and I really can't work out how to do so many things, or why certain things happen. Plus, it's so ugly and the charms, it makes me wince to think of the word.
Worst of all, unless you're a geek, or want to spend £££££s on an iPad, you have no choice. When Microsoft respond to criticism of this, they always point to how many have been sold, but very few people have a choice.
