Except it
didn't
. Sure, RTM Vista was rather unpleasant, but all the problems were solved by the time SP1 rolled around, and 7 is basically Vista SP2. And the biggest problem with RTM Vista was the biggest problem with RTM XP - the hardware wasn't stout enough yet.
I mean, come on. Does no one remember the shitstorm that surrounded XP when it was first released? Every argument that is being applied against Windows 8 is a repeat of the same arguments applied against Vista and XP.
Every last single one of them.
Is it worth it to upgrade to 8? Hell no. Stick with 7 for a while, at least until 8 SP1, or better until 9 (which will be 8 SP2, you just watch.) But if you're already got 8? Don't bother downgrading to 7. If Metro bugs you that bad, then use a replacement start menu.

Sorry, no. I had Vista on day one, and it was the shittest experience I ever had on a PC. It wouldn't recognise my hard drives and after hours of investigating I had to download the drivers onto a USB stick from a laptop and then retry. SP1 wasn't released until a year later and my work at the time all had the same problem when installing Vista.
I have contacts through work with some buddies at Microsoft and apparently internally Microsoft has stopped trying to sell Windows 8 to businesses. My bosses reaction to these same Microsoft guys asking him if our business was going to upgrade to Windows 8?
"Fuck off, we're waiting until 9."
I honestly don't care if SP1 fixes all the problems, it is unacceptable to say that something sucks but will get better in a year's time.

Pirate.
I had one laptop that ran Vista. I left it on there mostly as a self torture, merely hoping it would get better. It didn't. Totally disagree here and I don't think the original XP experience was comparable at all.
