I love Microsoft and all things redmond, and so I gave Win8 about a month. I loved the cool new features, and yes, even the Metro interface.
What I couldn't do is put up with program after program refusing to work, and the final nail in the coffin for me was that I could not run Virtual PC, even though it worked great with my processor on Win 7.
Sorry Microsoft, it's just not ready yet - so I formatted my PC and went back to Win 7.

- Maybe next year.
