Yes, setting up Windows 8 can be a very frustrating experience, to say the least. Organizing tiles befuddled me as well until I realized it always forces you to have vertical columns in multiples of 2. So you can't have 3 full vertical columns, it will be two full columns then two more tiles will force two new columns instead of one more column of two. Evidently this is to fit double wide tiles in every column, but in reality it's just stupid. Launching, moving, and selecting are more finicky than any other touch interface I've ever used.

I also set up my Surface and Microsoft account with my Gmail account and afterwords set up an Outlook.com account. I wanted to change my main Microsoft account to the Outlook email but after spending an hour or so Googling how to do it decided it was more hassle than it was worth.

I could go on, but the point is there are a lot of things, both small and large, that can make Windows 8 a very frustrating experience. I'm pretty sure people who love it and have no issues with it don't really use it as a true PC or personalize it to specific wants and needs.
