 It has nothing to do with comfort zone, unless you're comfortable with inexplicable changes to your computer screen and bad usability.

Sure, but I've been using W8 for almost two years and haven't experienced any of that and none of the other things people complain about. In fact, most people, once they get past the "security blanket" of the start menu and realize it's sill there but in different form actually find W8 more usable and more friendly.
But, hey some people can't or don't know how to adjust.

Interesting. Just installing Silverlight to watch Netflix was an ordeal that I hadn't experienced in W7.

Really? Interesting, I had no problem at all. It just worked.

It took me a whole 10 hours to come to grips with the new presentation. 
It is said that 1% (me included) will learn to cope with the new presentation willingly.
9% will begrudgingly learn it.
90% (you included) will continue to stress out over the change.
Get over it!

Actually, since I still use W7, I'm not stressing, except when I have to fix whatever weird behavior W8 did on my gf's laptop. And if I were to use W8, yes, you're right, I'd begrudgingly learn it. What I find interesting though is actually how difficult the transition from W7 to W8 is for some people, like my gf and my mom. Yes, she was used to W7, but W8 really does seem to get in the way.
But, like you said, it's a learning curve.

Yes those people who are not technically oriented will have a hard time adjusting.
I first learned to use the new interface because it was the way things are going in the future for Micro$oft interfaces.
Lately I have actually warmed up to it and prefer the Metro (I know I am not supposed to call it that) version of the apps I use a lot, like video to name one (there are others). Go figure.
I guess I have made the transition and there is no going back. Heaven help me.

That's a HUGE assumption. Many people I know, both devs and mortals, dislike W8 intensely.

I have never had any issues with W8. It's fast, and I like it. I do have the Classic Shell[^] start menu installed, to have a Win7-esque start menu.

...and handed me a big cardboard envelope with "Codeproject" written on it.
"What", I thought, "Is this?"
"It can't be an MVP certificate, it's June."
"And postie was normally clothed"
"heck, postie was clothed, and had no observable nipple tassles."
With trepidation, I opened it.

My nose hurts...
I've already congratulated you on your first million, so there will be none of that 'til the next.
Anyway, here's another 5 towards the next 1,000,000.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Probably my brain failing, but I don't see the relevance of blue lights making you hungry?

Me either, after all the sky is blue too, and I don't get hungry for looking at that. And I don't think you really could argue that its a different blue light, as the light outside has a quite broad spectrum. No, I think this is humbug[^]. But I do belive that spending time on a computer without physical activity and a lot of sugar intake can make you fat though (So consider yourself warned )
