Strange, because I find that hot dogs normally come in packages of one and buns in packages of two...

I had heard that Window 8.1 is to 8.0 what Windows 7 was to Vista. I took that as a sign of encouragement so I installed Windows 8.1 on a virtual machine to check it out before replacing my Windows 7 OS and, yes, it is indeed marginally better than Windows 8.0. However, the whole "app" interface looks like a throwback to when microprocessors were not capable of preemptive multitasking.
Now, I understand that such an interface is a good fit for a portable device where the screen is limited. But for a home computer with two monitors and no touch screen, it is a pain to work with.
So the question I have is: what am I missing here? Seriously, is there anyone out there using 8.1 on a desktop who really likes it, and why? What are its benefits. Otherwise, I am more than likely to go with Windows Server 2012.
Thanks.

Windows Server has the same "Start Screen" menu as Windows 8. So you're not likely to get happy with that either

It's fine. No better, no worse than other OS's. I liked 7 and 8, Vista sucked and XP was hard to let go of. But 8.1 is good and I find it hard to see the problems people claim.

Me too. At first it was strange and I had to think of how do I do this and that, but I quickly got over that.
I used to keep using old desktop applications because they were familiar, but lately have been replacing them with metro1 applications as my preference.
I think that most people are uncomfortable with change. The 'who moved my cheese syndrome' and need to be forced to adopt anything new; to wit Windows XP. It didn't help that the next version was Vista which put the resistant to change folks in epileptic seizures, but there was nothing wrong with Windows 7. So why the resistance to changing from XP?
Windows 8/8.1 has gotten them twitching again. It will take dropping support for Windows 7 before they will have to upgrade and then in due time when there is another paradigm shift they will be lamenting 'why doesn't it work like Windows 8'.
1 - I know I am not supposed to say metro but it sounds better than modern.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

It is partly about change taking some getting used to. But going from a multi-window, multi-tasking environment like the desktop (which has been around since Win95 and even back then was an extension of the multi-window paradigm of Windows 3.0 and probably earlier) to a single-app-at-a-time model is not just change, it is regression, and objectively worse.
