I've been running 8 Consumer Preview, and I don't think I'll ever go back to 7. It's just as stable as a preview and it's about 5x faster. With more features.

When setting up my new computer WIN 8 would randomly freeze for 1-2 seconds at irregular intervals.
The solution was to install WIN 7 and I've had no problems since. >_< I really like WIN 7 and until I see a solid reason to upgrade I'll most likely just stick with it.

I've never used a smoother OS, Linux and OSX included.
Seriously, they're complaining that there's no start button. If you actually click on the start button, then I don't really have any reason to listen to what you say (computer-wise at least). I took a look at the videos you posted too, and I don't see how putting people who are computer illiterate behind a new OS is a good way to judge it? I'm pretty sure people didn't know how to do everything on XP when it first dropped, or OSX from OS9. But they learn with time. I figured out Win8/Metro in a matter of seconds. But don't worry, they'll figure it out in several years when everybody's talking about how much better it is. I know tons of people didn't want to make the jump from 2000 to XP or XP to 7 (God forbid they ran ME or Vista), but now, everyone talks about how rock solid those OSes were.
It's funny too that people will hate on something no matter what. Either "It's too different, I don't know what to do!" because it's revolutionary, or they'll hate because it's too similar and they don't see the point in upgrading. There's always going to be people that are unhappy with something. As the saying goes, you can't please everyone.
When we had 8 installed on Feezy's machine, the thing was fully booted in 6 seconds total. It's a shame that something (probably video card related) was having issues, but it's in beta status still, so I'm sure those will be addressed in time. 7 is still fast to boot, but when we were installing everything it was upwards of 8-10 seconds.
People can hate on it all they want, but I'm more than happy with it, and I won't ever go back.

Looks like your friends over there aren't adaptable to change.
