I don't think my experience with 8 would be a total failure. It's not as good as XP, or as good as I hear that 7 is, but it's not the crashing nightmare that ME was. Hard to use-- yeah, it can be. 8 has some idiosyncrasies related to the touchscreen that I can do without, seems it wants to bring up stuff I didn't ask for but that touch thought I did-- and there's no way to turn off touch.
I still have my XP laptop, at this time there's some jobs it does better and no getting around it, at least with the older hardware I still have. It will get risky to use it online because criminals will write malware to attack XP and Microsoft isn't supporting it anymore, but for internal work here it still gets the job done, often better than the new laptop with 8 can do.
