Which interface do you want to use?
[ ] The new Windows 8 interface with Metro UI and modern, flat colors.
[ ] The old Windows 7 interface with Start-menu and Aero. Disable Metro UI.

I would have probably upgraded already, because there's bound to be some internal improvements that I can appreciate in the same way as there were improvements between Vista and 7.
Rumor has it that 8.1 (Blue), due to release this fall, will give you the option to boot directly to the desktop and bring back the start menu.
