The developer preview is like a normal preview. They only added "developer" because they probably enabled some system stuff. It's not a "developer edition" or something like that so you don't need to bother.
I wasn't suggesting it because it says developer. Feel free to find the consumer preview as well. I just happen to have an image backup of the developer preview, so I suggested it, on the offchance he needed a copy of it.

Even my co-worker who was totally "Woah, Windows 8 is awesome" has come to hate it.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, so that doesn't surprise me. I personally know people, including myself, who were skeptical about it at first (I really didn't like it at all with how much it changed things), but once you play around with it for a while, and learn how things are done now, it's not so bad.
On a sidenote, I do think this new style is going to soon become the new standard for OSes across the board. I'm sure that comment will get plenty of criticism, but look how OSes have changed over the years.. We went from command line, to simple windows, to very stylized and graphics-centric, and now touch-centric everything. I know our house is a little unique, but we have 2 "normal" laptops that are non-touch running Win7, 2 touch laptops with Win8, 2 Surface tablets, 2 Kindles (one fire color, one original) And three desktops (one is a server and I don't even know what it's running, and the other two running Win7). Supposedly in the next year or so, we'll have all of our laptops with touch, and it will just be my desktop left that's non touch, and non Win8.
