A new, less efficient way of doing things with any sort of learning curve isn't my cup of tea, I don't have time to waste on things that don't work easily and efficiently.
Apparently there was the option (registry hack) of using the Start menu on the beta version but that's been stripped from the final release. Speed wise it seems faster, but the launch interface sucks bigtime.
Luckily I managed to sucessfully restore my Win7 image including the nice widgets (currency conversion, weather, calendar and sticky notes) I had on my second screen which Win8 obliterated.
If anyone is thinking of installing the upgrade I'd suggest that you do a backup image and system recovery disk of your old Win7 install before starting the upgrade. (on an external HDD make sure it's not over 1tB otherwise the recovery disk won't see it)
