For me Windows 8 startup time is 6 secs, much faster than Windows 7.
Start button? Not really missing it. Right clicking lower left hotspot gives shortcuts to most things needed, and as for programs and groups that is what Metro is for. No need to have a desktop filled with shortcuts (although it is still possible to do so). Just click Windows key and choose program to start on the Metro interface.
If you really can't live without the Start button there is 'Start8' from Stardock.
I don't get all the rage about Metro - you don't have to use it.
Personally I feel I am working faster on Windows 8 after using it for about a month now. Besides, I like the option to dock an app and use the remaining 2/3 screen for desktop usage etc.
Windows 8 really isn't much different from Windows 7 except it is now both a desktop/touch OS. Is it perfect? No. Some things still need to be tweeked, and there is still room for improvements. I doubt Microsoft is going back in time with Windows 9 though if that is what some hope for. "Adapt or die". Isn't that what everybody tell us who don't like changes?
