Yep. A problem MS has is for the most part, XP works. Office 2008 works. And this is very bad for the price of stock. Windows 7 is better, Office 2012 is, well, they moved/hide all of the icons, change the UI. (I suspect that office 2015 will be software/apps that you can only rent, not own. This way they still get revenue even if you dont upgrade.)
20+ year IT guy and I suspect that windows 8 / server 12 will be the next step, once you have a touch screen. If you are not one of the 1%ers, sorry could not resist, and are still running a mouse, the OS is not good.
I did download a program that adds the start button, but leaves the windows 8 features, and this removes a huge annoyance. Now I can try to figure out what the OS does, not cuss just trying to get it to do anything.
