Windows 8 is pretty great. Starts up faster, tends to run a bit better. Can't wait to upgrade to 8.1 on my good desktop.

Does 8.1 get rid of that pesky metro?

no, unfortunately.

There are still some bad UI design decisions in 8.1, like how the start corner still overlays itself over the start bar (and the start button that's already on the bar).

Supposedly the next update (8.2? I dunno) is bringing the start menu back.

A patch for 8.1 is bringing the start menu back I thought.

Looks even better with a mix of metro. Imagine having just a few small tiles there for the more important stuff.
