Yes but remember there's quite a large userbase that is used to the old UI while at the same time not having enough knowledge to go and find and install something that reenables the Start Menu, especially if such software isn't released from a major company. And this very same base also doesn't have enough knowledge to get to a new UI. So that's quite a large userbase that certainly won't try Windows 8. It's because of userbase like that, that Microsoft should give the choice in Setup of what UI to use. And Microsoft did that successfully in Windows 95. Why they didn't do it in Windows 8 though, I don't know. But it's certainly becoming a large blow in the Windows 8 sales.
