Windows 8 is cratering new PC adoption -- many people, especially folks who are not technically adept, hate it.

So a German government decided to invest a small amount of money to help citizens utilize an alternative to insecure Windows XP.

Plenty of folks who are technically adept, dislike it as well.

It is terrible. Yesterday I had to go long ways to help a friend install skype on w8. The thing pushed her towards the metro version and microsoft account.

So i had to find a direct link to desktop installer. Every non IT user I have seen hates 8. Most of the ITs too.
