if you want to see what can go wrong with windows 8. I have a friends desktop pc on my desk of all the things that can go wrong with windows 8 wich is really not that entertaining or amusing. I hope that you built your win 8 pc and didn't buy an oem POS. why because the windows activation key is embedded into the motherboard and the builder probily will not have a record of it . but thankfully Microsoft has a toll free number and a screen to retrieve it from though. they started embedding the activation key in the MB's with win 8 to prevent theft. let alone with all the updates that won't go through and it gets stuck at 99% and it can't config win updates and tries to revert back and gets stuck then you have to reformat all over again really entertaingI have windows 8. I don't have any problems using it.
