Not at all, the UI is a very good reason to hate an OS. They tried to pull some futuristic 'touch of the future' stuff with the crowd and it didn't work, surprise surprise. Windows 8 was also proven to be a bit under Windows 7 by performance, not by a whole lot or even significant amount but it still goes to show. The only reason I like it is because it has awesome driver support, it instantly install your drivers automatically without needing some stuffty DVD with drivers. I got a start button program and completely disabled the metro app system and all the other unnecessary crap.
And yes change is a problem, especially all this time we've been used to the original Windows form that is Windows 7. Windows XP had the same form, Windows Vista too, same with 98 and 95 and all the other version in between. It is a huge problem, you expect people to just change their knowledge about something they used for several years at a snap of a finger? If it wasn't for this start-is-back program or some other ones that add a start button, Windows 8 would be absolute garbage for me and most people.
