It doesnt mean that he doesnt have any problems, it does however mean that it has nothing to do with Win8.

Actually, there are many problems related to the system itself. Changing the default access policy to C:/Program Files in XP, UAC's crappy implementation in Vista - they are all issues *related* to the OS.
And nobody blames Microsoft for that. OS evolves and changes but NC was designed over 10 years ago. The fact it does work on modern computer/OS combo is a pinch of miracle and a ton of devs hard work on updates.
The "computers for the dumbest" trend means that OSes try do restrict users (and developers) more and more in misguided effort to protect them from themselves. It means there are and will be even more problems introduced by new version of OS. It's not MS's fault, it's Apple's - but MS is playing the ball.

I am MS fanboi too. But paranoid and not welcoming changes just for the sake of changing. I miss my win2k...

Ah yes, of course there has been some OS related problems, but since he did mention that he now ran Win7 (and there isnt any problems from Win7 to Win8).

I do welcome changes. Im a big fan of having something new to play around with (Im a software-kinda-guy).

I dont mind UAC (although it was quite painfull in Vista), since it does help with security quite a lot, and thats what its there for.
And it helps the less tech-smart people to avoid a lot of painfull experiences.

For us who do like to play around, we can always just use Powershell to give us some "playroom".


I will however admit that Im not a big fan of Modern UI though.. Especially on 2012 servers (seriously.. why...?!)
