That first screen is what they call the metro interface. Personally I'm against it myself.
I admit my windows 8 experience is quite limited and with luck it will stay that way. I actually managed to skip over Vista fairly well but not completely. I know that a windows key M will land you on a desktop in 8 and the search feature is somewhat the same.

His first complaint is that the first screen looks like a cell phone. There is a button that can change the appearance but it does not stick. I think that there should be a way to make the change permanent. This should be interesting, I considered upgrading but from what he told me I am not sure. Most of his friends went back to win 7. Any thoughts with windows 8 and jaws? I do have the latest 14 version. --- Please visit my home page, it is motivational, educational, inspirational with a touch of humor.
