8.1 ruined the new interface. (Gaming)

The Metro interface was great for what it was used for, touch. I installed software to get the start menu back for desktop mode, but on my tablet it was amazing.

Windows 8.1 tried to do the best of both worlds, which didn't do anything. The universal search function was gimped, for example, in Metro applications, and the start button on the desktop just loaded up the standard homescreen. Worthless.
