To be fair, I never used Windows 7. I went from a laptop with Vista to a laptop with Windows 8, haha.
Edit: And I had a pretty cluttered desktop on my old laptop, so I never really had to search for programs and such.
I received a new laptop for Christmas with Windows 8 on it. I hated it for the first few days because, as has been stated, you are told next to nothing about how the new OS works. I don't mind it now that I'm used to it, though.
