Know what? Embrace the blocks. Sure, they look infantile, like the people they're aimed at. That doesn't mean you can't configure them to your advantage. I took the Luddite approach. Once I got to the desktop, I defined a new Toolbar on the taskbar, which appears on the right end, next to the System Tray.
Filled it with shortcut icons for the programs I use most often.
It's the poor-man's Quick Launch Bar.
Not perfect, but I just cannot embrace the blocks. You can have all of my blocks, free. Please, take them... :-)

They are repulsive.
MS has an existential problem. Office is dead. Operating systems are continually hacked. Dead.
Windows 8 and 10 are their attempts to make computers like cellphones: very restricted applications, protecting their licenses.
They will only push us all to open source, leaving them with nothing.
