hey well unlike some people I want to say that W8 is a beautiful invention! I hesitated to go on W8 but after a week it was already adopted! While the retro compkexe interface is quite at the beginning, but you get used to very quickly and the shift to 8.1 inserts a start button (or you have to right click) Some will say that there is no start menu but it's almost the same! I like it and I think we should accept change! over all I have on my Windows phone goes on my tablet, PC and morphine what more? a true revolution for Windows! shame that a lot of people are upset or did not want to learn to use this new interface and sulk ....
