Windows 8 just prevents me from doing things the way I want to do them. I *hate* the Start-screen. I *don't* want a full screen start-menu that blanks out my desktop when I want to start a program. The Start-screen can't do some of the things the old Start-menu could. And being thrown out of the desktop into that damned Start-screen each time I hit the Windows-key (which is a lot, since I do many things using the keyboard to avoid having to reach for the mouse), a Start-screen that's half an OS by itself with it's own programs, gives me the feeling that Windows 8 is schizophrenic.

In other words, it's different and you don't like it. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't make it harder to use any more than Windows 95 is harder to use than Windows 3.1.
Look, I have no problems with people who dislike Windows 8 because they think Microsoft went overboard and changed too many things. But any time you try to make a new OS behave in ways the old one did, you're likely to have a bad time. People should either embrace the changes and learn the new logic and methodolgy, or stick with the previous version as you yourself have done.
But I won't buy claims that it's somehow worse and more complex, just because it's different.
