I'm just not sure why so many people have so much problem with Windows 8. From a productivity standpoint, I run it on a multi-monitor setup (4 monitors), and it's native support for independent taskbars on each monitor alone increase productivity over any previous version.
As for the Start Button. That just cracks me up. Everyone has a keyboard with a Windows Key. Click it. THAT's been the actual start button since windows 95. And then customize the Start Menu to have only what you want on it.
What MS screwed up on the most was making such a "radical change" without informing people of two simple things:
1. Edit your settings to boot directly to the Desktop Mode instead of "Metro"
2. Install normal programs via the desktop instead of the store. Installing via the store puts you inside "Metro" to use them like apps.
Beyond that, it's significantly faster, very stable, more efficient and with increased productivity (in a multi-monitor environment there's no comparison unless you install 3rd party tools to achieve the same efficiency).
Ultimately, it just works. That said, I also never had any problems with VISTA either. In the end, however, there's really no reason for anyone on Windows 7 to upgrade to 8 unless they want to stay current, or have incompatibility concerns. Windows 7 works just fine as well.
