Time spent getting used to change is usually time that could have been better spent doing something else. That's particularly true when the end result is that you're back where you were (but it's now 1 week/month/year later). There's change-as-in-progress, and change-as-in-another-meaningless-revolution-of-the-tech-hamsterwheel. I have no doubt at all that the internals of Windows 8 represent progress. The replacement of the start menu with Metro, on the other hand, smells so far very much like the hamsterwheel.
