- No start button! Seriously.. it is a lot faster to hit the windows button on your keyboard and type the first letter of the software you want to start. Hell, this works like Ubuntu's unity HUD, I think it's better than drag-click on a button anyway.
- No more aero. After a few days.. it really didn't matter.
8 is not as bad as generalised. But it's certainly not worth any extra cash.
I'll concede the computer restarting without my permission to install updates when I'm in the middle of a work report is a serious drawback.

ya definitely release a update to put back the UI that was in the Early RC versions. I mean looking at going from Windows 3.1 - 95 there wasnt too drastic of a change in the UI
