People spent their entire computer lives relying on the Start Button and Taskbar. I spent a good amount of mine learning how to use it with the most efficiency and incorporated it into my daily workflow. Then all of a sudden, in one single new version of Windows, it's all gone. Now 90% of people who have used this brand are completely lost. I gave it a fair shot and had to Google everything I did. I had trouble even getting to an internet browser. Maybe an interface without a start menu is superior, but at the very least Windows 8 should have been a hybrid version which came with the Start button and taskbar enabled by default and a "new" way to remove the start button and taskbar. Having to move my mouse in a certain corner of the screen to access a backend "metro" area (which is the only way to actually get to program or files now) is NOT good UI design.
