I wasn't aware of the complete disappearance of the Start Menu, I was under the impression that it changed form but that it was still there. But, since I've not used W8 myself, I'll have to wait and see... or I'll ask my friend for some hints. (His brother works on the kernel for Windows, but we'll see how much he can actually tell me.)
As for transition hiccups, we can only hope (ie. Wait for Godot to show up) that Microsoft will make the transition smoother.
