I heard people were complaining about the missing "start" button. Since there is no such thing as a Stop button on Windows, I'll have to assume that he was dissing the start menu. Most IT guys are a bunch of whiners. They need to make things seem very complicated so they can keep their jobs. However, the Start button is still there on the Desktop. I might use the Start menu a couple times a year to uninstall a program from the control panel.. Otherwise it's completely useless.
