Microsoft Windows 8 is not hard to learn to use on a desktop computer once you get used to it in my experience. But, using shortcut keys like Windows Key + C which brings up the charms sidebar could make Windows 8 easier to use for searching for files, programs and settings.

I have been using Nova Launcher for a few weeks on my Asus Google Nexus 7 to replace the standard default launcher for Google Android 4.2.2. I like that I can add Shortcuts to the home screen by just holding down my finger in an empty space like the launcher for Google Android Gingerbread. I can also open the app drawer/all apps, and long press on an app, or widget which I want to add to my Homescreen, and drag it to the desired location like in Google Android 4.2.
If you know how to use the default launcher in Google Android 2.3 and other versions of Android, it should be easy to learn how to use Nova Launcher.
Nova Launcher is easy to use, and fast in my experience. I like how it is easy to add and remove home screens, and add widgets and shortcuts to the homescreen by just long pressing on the home screen, or in the settings.
