HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED? That's a hell of a BSOD (unless you run in VMware environments, in which case it's Surprisingly Common -- in case you hadn't noticed, I rather dislike VMware 
).
I'm actually fine with Windows 8, though I wish they'd have just decided to go full bore on the Modern UI and Windows Runtime or not done it at all. With my software developer hat on, I really dislike both the clunky UI of 8.1 and the fact that we have mutually incompatible APIs and no clear guidance on which one is going to win out. Is it Win32? WPF? RT? Who the hell knows anymore?
