Still don't see why anyone would want to use a tablet OS on a desktop , I'll stick with a desktop OS.

It is easy to manipulate the start screen if you know how to right click.
I can take as many apps as I like and place them on a different place or pin/unpin/delete/resize them at once it is not really that hard to do, can be improved but it is not really a "pain" to do so in w8.1 also dragging one icon to a different place is easy with the mouse.
Please can you (or anyone) tell me how it is easy to configure the start screen when every time I try to rearrange tiles within a group the entire group shifts around? I understand you can move a set of tiles from one group to another by right clicking them, but I've found it to be a hair-pulling and expletive-filled experience to simply arrange tiles in a group to my liking. This has been my major frustration with Win 8 and now Win 8.1. I was really hoping this would be fixed.

Don't listen to these moaning Monas. Honestly if your from the 21st century you would have a touchscreen for your computer and laptop and phone. Otherwise go get one. What is annoying is windows still holding on to the desktop just get rid of it already.

I hate touch screens. My work laptop has one with XP and it's horrible. I have an iPad for tablet stuff with a touch screen, I use my laptop for computer stuff (when I need a mouse and keyboard).

They did with the old GeoWorks Pro why can't Windows 8.1 be 100% Metro instead overlapping Windows 7 Desktop. Can't have dual desktops can we just settle on one UI. Build some real apps for Metro UI and focus on that. Now you have two different UI that needs RAM, resources all sorts of things to operate them. Like the OS is a piggyback. Windows 9 looks more of the same concept idea.
Necro-bump. Just here to reaffirm that one year later, windows 8 / 8.1 still sucks for anything other than a touchscreen operated device...
and Windows 7 X64 is still the best combination of :
graphics/system stability/performance/user friendliness/hardware and application updatability/ etc, etc, etc...
in an operating system,
that the Personal Computer has ever seen, bar none. That is all, and good day to you.
