Same here.

We have had discussions like that several times, where I will say my view
on various upgrades.  Typically, I enjoy and embrace upgrade - but they
have to offer value of some type.  

Windows 8.1 adds no value at all vs. Windows 7.  In fact, I see the
interface as a downgrade.  

I remember I used to love Windows NT 4.  I went happily over to Windows
Server 2000 (for servers) back then because W2K Server added lots of value
(ie. USB support, plug-n-play, interface upgrade) to name a few.  

Microsoft wants a single interface for all devices.  I see their first
attempt to do that as a complete failure.
