I have to say, I'm really surprised anyone could ask this. I don't know a single person that likes windows 8. I don't mean they think "yeah its ok but windows 7 is better", I mean they think "hate, loath, detest". It is one of the worst user interfaces I've seen, second only to itunes.
When I first tried windows 8, I intentionally made sure I didn't read anything about it. I literally was unable to use it for a full 30 minutes! I could click on enormous, 20 cm buttons to run an app and that was it. I eventually gave up and went to google, only to discover there is a magical, invisible button about 5 pixels wide in the corner. Really!? Who thought that was a good idea? Go to Android or iOS and a child could figure them out in minutes. My two year old was confidently using both in minutes. I have no doubt he would have gotten stuck in windows 8 in seconds. Regardless of your opinion on the style (I personally don't like the style formally known as metro), it is not a UI that a person could figure out just by looking at it. People have to be told how to use it. Consequently, it will always fail in comparison to the others.
