Yes, she has her machine set to be in desktop mode as much as possible, and is reasonably IT literate.

We're talking 9 months of daily use here.

She's now recently bought a Chromebook which she uses in preference whenever she doesn't need the Windows machine, and is swearing never to buy another Windows 8 one.

Did she try using a start menu replacement?

I suggested that to a few people and haven't heard any complaints yet.... Granted it's only been a few weeks....

The better ones are supposed to remove the metro OS from showing up, leaving you with Win7 + fastboot + new theme + new task manager.
