It did change form... Into the Metro Start Screen.
I wonder how long it will be before someone makes a custom start menu for 8.
On the topic of apps on desktop. I'm pretty sure that MS lets you install Metro Apps from other sources, so I'm not concerned. What I hate is that it forces fullscreen (yes, there is a way to snap to side, but that still is pretty limited). I don't mind it as much on my laptop since its 1366x768 and you can't really have multiple windows open on that anyways, but forced fullscreen becomes really limiting when you get up into 1080+ resolutions.
Also, Metro Apps don't work well for people who have weird aspect ratio like Eyefinity setups or portrait oriented monitors, or multimonitor setups. I know that we are a minority, but MS should try to support everyone.
