[QUOTE="Infidelus, post: 929956, member: 24037"] People don't like change, so the easiest response for them is "It's different so it therefore must suck". When I first heard about Windows 8's new start menu, I wasn't overly impressed either. I then installed the customer preview (in a VM) and didn't think a lot of it (and didn't give it much time). Tried it again when the release candidate came out and decided to give it a bit more of a bash, and found i disliked it less. Once the RTM came out I installed it as my main machine, and there it stayed for a week until I ran across a standby issue (which I've since tied down to Hyper-V). Bought the £25 upgrade on release day and haven't looked back. So as it turns out, the more I used Windows 8, the more I actually liked it. There's some decent under the hood security and performance improvements, and if you really, REALLY don't like the ModernUI, you can always use one of the tools people have created that give you the classic start menu back.
