I was gonna mention the Office ribbon too. that scared the hell out of me and everyone I knew when it first came out and we were all begging for the old drop down menus. Now I'm a freaking ribbon wizard, and just the thought of hunting down formatting options using the drop downs makes me want to throw up in my mouth.
the Win8 interface is by no means perfect and I'm sure it will undergo a bunch of tweaks. but I after living with it for a few weeks I'm absolutely convinced that anyone who claims it makes things harder is just being stubborn. I prefer MS to at least try to innovate, even if they miss the mark sometimes. otherwise we'd all still be clicking on program manager icons to bring up windows full of other icons, because that's what everyone was used to.
