It only goes to show how humanity's collective intelligence level is declining when many simply opt to throw their hands up in the air when confronted with something new or different.
The absence of a start menu and its replacement with the Metro menu interface is by far the biggest aesthetic difference in Windows 8. What is interesting is that the Metro menu icon appears in the same corner that the start menu used to be once you put the mouse cursor in that corner.
If a user is already in a program, how difficult is it really to hover your mouse in the lower left corner, click to open the metro menu and then click the relevant tile to open the other program that you want?
The vast majority of users stay in the desktop interface once their apps are started anyway.
Seriously people, the complaints are just acts of nitpicking and are symptomatic of lazy thinking.
