What I found particularly appealing about is:

Metro User Interface: The Metro user interface, with its live tiles and touch-friendly design, was a significant departure from previous Windows versions. I appreciated its fresh and visually dynamic approach, which made interacting with the operating system more engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Windows 8 introduced several notable features and changes, there were also aspects of the operating system that I found less appealing or encountered challenges with:

Limited Desktop Integration: Windows 8 had a dual nature, with a traditional desktop mode and the new Metro interface. However, the integration between the two felt disjointed at times. Switching between these modes and launching desktop applications from the Metro interface could be confusing.

Start Screen and Lack of Customization: The removal of the Start button and the replacement with the full-screen Start screen was a source of frustration for many. The inability to easily customize and organize tiles on the Start screen made it less user-friendly compared to the classic Start menu. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The apps you use in Windows 8 can feed you information without you even having to open them. This is especially helpful with home-bred Microsoft apps like Mail, Calendar, Photos and News, for viewing new e-mail, upcoming events, thumbnail images and the latest headlines. Third-party app developers can also take advantage of the Live Tile feature. For example, LivingSocial shows you snippets of new deals in your area. If you’re sick of a specific app’s constantly changing tile, you can always turn the Live Tile feature off. Microsoft has also given more life to the lock screen in Windows 8. You can select up to seven apps that will constantly run in the background and send notifications to the lock screen. You can also select between the Weather and Calendar apps to show information on the Lock Screen at all times. Got a meeting coming up? Your Lock Screen can tell you.

My favourite feature of Windows 8 was its slick, contemporary UI. The debut of the Start screen with live tiles gave the operating system a new, lively appearance. It appeared to be a substantial stride towards a user experience that is touch-friendly and aesthetically pleasing. With the option to flip between the conventional desktop and the new Start screen, users of both traditional PCs and touch-enabled devices had flexibility. A pleasant improvement for many customers, Windows 8 also provided shorter boot times and improved performance over its predecessor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The drastic change from the accustomed Start menu was what I found to be the worst aspect about Windows 8. For many seasoned Windows users, the debut of the Start screen and its tile-based user interface seemed abrupt and perplexing. Even after a while of getting used to the new interface, certain formerly simple chores become more difficult to do. The dual structure of Windows 8, with both the regular desktop and the Start screen, also occasionally seemed jumbled. The new interface was created with touch devices in mind, however some users found it difficult to use on traditional desktops or laptops because of this. Many of these problems, fortunately, were fixed in later Windows releases and iterations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
