I loaded it on a VM environment just to try it, and IMO, it is that bad. MS is trying to force a tablet interface onto the desktop and it just doesn't work that way.

Windows 7 can be configured to behave just like Windows XP. Can one do the same with Windows 8?

Re: Windows 8?
Yeah, I'm hoping they eventually develop useful voice interfaces. They're only sort of there now, with too much error and having to retry or repeat.
