He complained about the interface, not the entire OS.

Without the ability to have Start8, or any of the alternatives, some of which are free, then it is a real concern.

I know if I want Windows 8 at work, I have that option. I will also ask for funding for Start8, but in the extremely unlikely event they say no, it is $5 I will happily put on my credit card for the hassle it will save me.
