Not at all...I find all kinds of things that I wish would be different about Windows & MS products in general. However, when I find criticisms that are either invalid, easily worked around, or just a lack of knowledge/experience with the program, I will mention it. Hopefully my mentioning it will educate the individual as to a fix for their issue and/or inform others that the issue really isn't a problem.
If you are using old style programs, like Harry mentioned, then you have the FULL functionality of the desktop available to you. It appears that your only complaint would be that you have to click a button to get there instead of having it appear automatically.
I would argue that windows 8 will boot so much faster than 7 that I could click on the (desktop) tile and be productive in my program/app long before you could even get to the login page. If you absolutely can't get over not having the desktop appear automatically, then there are several programs you can install that make that happen - and they even give you a start button! There really is no need to install windows 7 on a new laptop...so "that dog don't hunt."
Cheers,
