I really don't like how that desktop looks. What is wrong with the current setup? Why did they feel the need to change it?

No, 2007 & 2010 are really similar. People at work are still recovering from 2007's change. 
I fear Office 2013 will do some more rearranging.
There's a trend in hiding crap in the corners that you wouldn't know unless you clicked around or someone told you.
The Start menu (lower left) button or Vista's/Win7's "orb" is gone and I haven't seen any other way to bring it back than to use 3rd party apps that aren't as good as the original. However, if you click in the bottom-left corner, it takes you to the Metro tile page and from there you can right-click to see All Programs which is frustratingly in the lower-right corner. It's a bit of a hassle, but I think the idea is you'll make shortcuts or pin the the Taskbar what you find you use most often (or more shortcuts on the Metro/tile page). I'm sure we'll look back and laugh at a Start Menu button later on, but for now my fear-changing self isn't sure what to think.
Something I found interesting. When I upgraded to Windows 8, it asked me for my Hotmail/Live login and it changed that to my laptop's login. I know Android loves to use Gmail for most things, but I should hope that not every Windows user will now require a Hotmail account. I know it's a search away, but I haven't bothered to look into that yet.

Lol, I get people who say they can't handle the trauma of learning a new layout. Google if you can't find something.
The long lived saying fits this best, as grammatically incorrect as it may be:
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
