In Windows 10, they actually reverted to a Windows 7 style of desktop and start menu, with a more traditional layout versus the controversial and new style Windows 8 layout due to the large amount of customer complaints because people could in fact, not get use to the design. Windows 8 has since not been looked at very fondly in history, and likely never will.

Well said! Now we have another example to use.
The G8x and G2x is BMW's Windows 8 and 8.1
Looking at the pricing and ordering forum, you can clearly see a difference in enthusiasm. Not many waiting lists, cars already available on lot and with discounts. Comparing with when the F8x came out, talk about a stark difference.
What I'd like to know is how many of the G8x buyers are non lease buyers that plan to keep the car for a long time.
