If you are worried about no start button you can download "Classic Shell" for free and set it up. After you setup it will boot up in the "Desktop" mode. Not the "UI" mode. I have Windows 8 Pro x64. I love it. I ran the Release Preview from August to first part of December. Like the other guys says if you have the "UEFI" BIOS, it makes it faster to boot, plus a SSD drive boots faster than the regular Hard drives. Mine boots up in about 8 sec.
I beta test Windows 7, but never bought it, didn't have the money. While I was trying out 8, I was thinking of getting 7. But 8 won out. I love it. Not slow on my machine. My nephew as 8 pro on his computer and he is running a AMD 955 Phenom II. And He boots in about 10 sec. And "Classic Shell" for his start button.
But to each his own.
Just think back in the day when MS went from 3.1 windows to 95, and people griped about that. There are always going to be gripers.
