Would have swapped 8 and vista. Vista was awefull. 8 was very special but 8.1 was actually good... but I was one of the few wierdos with an windows phone, so I liked the design.

The Oas was actually pretty solod. The only real problem was the removal of the start menu and traditional interface for non-touch computers. It's just that it was a huge fucking problem that destroyed the perception of Win8 even after the issue was addressed.

If Metro had been the alternative interface and the traditional experience the default, it would have been celebrated as a great OS.
