You know that everything that were supported in 7 is supported in 8 too right... and to be fair even if it was as you said with not being able to use openoffice, who cares? We got Microsoft Office.
Wat? I'm running Windows 8.1 and standard Windows 7 builds work perfectly fine. My Chrome browser has several extensions and none give me any trouble whatsoever since the browser is an isolated environment that's very much OS-independent when it comes to extensions. There's actually two versions of Chrome for Windows 8 - the Desktop Edition and the Metro Edition and both work great. OpenOffice also doesn't have to be ported to Windows 8 because Windows 8 runs Windows 7 applications without any hiccups. Have you actually done any testing whatsoever or are you inventing non-existant problems? I am yet to find a single program that would work on Windows 7 and would not work on Windows 8.1.
I clean and defragment my registery regularly, I don't see why I'd have to complicate my life with adding a virtual machine to the mix. My OS is always squeaky clean, partially because it doesn't run background bullshit.Out of curiosity, why not install and run the AV in virtual machine, when needed? Usually uninstalling any software will not fully remove the said software, they tends to leave garbage behind and also leaves your registry in disarray and thus could impact performance in some way regardless. I could be wrong though.
". There's desktop mode browsers and addons and shit and whatever and there have been for agggggggggggges. 
I don't know why, but this guy pretends Windows 8 classic desktop mode doesn't exist ("it's a hack" or something) and there's only metro apps. Has done so for a long time.
This just might be it. Maybe he's yet to find the huge "Desktop" button right there on the screen.
This is also possible. Doesn't Metro and RT use the same application framework? Pretty sure they do.
Here I can agree, there are still some issues with drivers when it comes to obsolete devices, but that's hardly Microsoft's fault, they're not the ones making the drivers. I was recently working with a laptop equipped with an Intel Wi-Fi chip that had issues in 8.1, which is the only reason why I installed 7 on the machine. That's Intel's problem though - they're the ones who write the drivers, they should update them.
Point and click several times is faster than point and click once? Okay. Not to mention that keystrokes are even faster.
Desktop Mode was never meant to be legacy, Metro is merely a UI to launch Desktop applications and dock Metro applications, it's not an OS in and out of itself.
I have never heard of Microsoft calling Desktop Mode "legacy", they called the old Start UI legacy.
This screams "I've only spent 1 minute using Windows 8/8.1".
A), you can get rid of booting to metro.
B), every browser has stable builds on 8/8.1, no idea where you get "ONLY USING IE
C), Open Office has been supported on 8 for aggggggggggggggggggggggggggges as well, I used it when I first got my Windows 8 install
D), Typing with all touch keyboards is shit. Pro tip, use a physical keyboard
As I continue to read your inherent shitpost, I have to ask. Are you talking about Windows RT or something? Are you complaining about an ARM device not having x86 apps? Are you just...stupid?
Show us that promotional material that we're unaware of. Last time I checked, they heavily advertised Metro docking and the simultaneous use of native OS applications and Metro framework applications. Metro "revolutionizes" working with desktops in the sense that docked applications can provide additional functionality while you're using normal programs.
