I hate Windows 8

Me too.
I have never liked 7 at all. I do not like its appearance for the most part, it is too Applesce for my tastes. That whole retarded quick launch BS just eats up screen area. I run a clean screen on XP with the hidden desktop, and have the quick launch disable on the task bar. Now if I could make either version go back to an actual classic mode, I would be all good to go with it. Also I do use Win 7 at times, but that is mostly to do fixes on my mothers computer, so yes I do know how to use it. I know that when I do build a new machine, I will be forced into the latest ugly MS ugly step child, but then I will make it a multiple boot machine anyhow.

XP is hitting end of life very soon. As for 8 it's not so bad once you've got it stripped down to a normal OS, I've found classic shell the best start button out there.
