I have to ask how long have you used Windows 8 for?

I'm asking because you seem to be repeating the canard and meme that the desktop has gone or altered beyond all recognition. For most users the desktop is almost identical (bar some graphical changes) to Windows 7. The biggest change for desktop users will be the moving of the cursor to the side and corners to activate the likes of the charm bar. And even that is not in principle new for a Windows desktop since we've had snap to the edge and the like for a some time.
