Windows 8 is actually pretty good... if you can get past having no start menu.
I just use it like Windows 3.1.
Backwards compatibility with DOS based Windows programs is only slightly worse than Windows XP (of course any 16-bit program is going to be unusable).

Actually it appears that the start menu is coming back with the upcoming update. It *blushes* took me more than a few moments to figure out how to shut down my new computer a few months ago.

with a large enough stick, one can beat windows 8 into a usable form of submission

3.11 was the best. Also no starting menu.
