In a recent survey, a majority of people preferred Windows 7 over Windows 8. Good news: A lot of people prefer the Microsoft Surface tablet over the iPad or Android tablets.

Microsoft claims that Windows 8 is the first version of Windows to be designed for both tablets and desktops, with users able to switch between the new user interface and the more familiar desktop mode. This was viewed to be a weakness by 18 percent of respondents.
