I don't think they would change it if they didn't think it would make users more productive.

Let me just say, I love the aero glass look, I can't use windows without it being transparent thats just the way its supposed to be. It gives a comforting and lofty appearance that isn't overly imposing.

I tried to like Windows 8, but I just couldn't. The start menu is the most awful start menu I've ever seen on anything and the whole OS is ugly and cluttered. It did seem a little more responsive though.

-Finally make a good UI
-Replace it with trash in the next OS
Microsoft logic.

Oh, Gates where art thou.

^this, and the "new look" seems a lot like XP to me for some reason. Honestly, Aero looks a lot more modern than that, and certainly not cheesy.
