Windows has always been like a cheaply made off road vehicle made in a former Soviet-bloc country. The controls were a little weird, and it broke down a lot, but otherwise it could drive on a lot of really sketchy roads, and you probably knew a guy who knew how to fix it for you when it broke down.
Then Windows 8 came along. To continue the analogy, it was like a new model year of that same cheaply made Eastern European off-road vehicle suddenly came with a few well-needed under-the-hood improvements so that it wouldn't break down as readily, along with a big 8" spike sticking out of the centre of the drivers seat. Aficionados who have never driven another car in their lives rave about the spike (it's painted some very nice colours), and continue to flood forums trying to convince people who have stayed away from the newer model because of the spike that if they just tried it long enough, they'd get used to having a giant spike up their asses.
Now Microsoft is coming out with Windows 10, the biggest benefit of which is that it now features a slightly shorter spike. And Windows zealots will try to convince everyone else that it's a major improvement. But you're still taking it in the ass every time you get in for a ride.
