To be honest I don't think everyone hates on Windows 8.1 because it's the norm. They messed around with the traditional desktop layout too much, which is what made the modern computer so popular in the first place. Also it was too tablet orientated, Microsoft wanted to kill two birds with one stone so they designed and OS that would work for both tablet and traditional laptops. In the end it ended up being horrible to use for desktops, the little gestures were fine for tablets but when using a mouse they felt horrible. It's much simpler to point and click for everything, I mean, that's something that's really stood the test of time as regards OS.
