Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but I think it is clear that a significant number of people who are not only 'just users' are concerned, but a group of people who regularly think about the direction and uses of personal automation are made uneasy.
I guess you're talking about the "Metro" interface? It's certainly different, but personally I rather like it. It's very like using a tablet. But the Windows desktop is still there, and you can still run all your current apps on the desktop, just as you do today.

I'm running the "Consumer Preview" version of Win8 on one of my old PCs, and I like it.
