It's not that bad, but I prefer to use the start bar, so on my laptop I added one using Start Menu 8. The main thing that your loosing is the ability to play DVDs with Media Player. Otherwise, day to day, it's not noticeably different.

You can either buy upgrading to pro and then adding media center for $10 or you have to download a third party dvd player like VLC, but I've never had good luck with that with more complicated codecs such as Disney movies like the Avengers. If you're looking at the home edition and want to play dvd's, definitely go Windows 7.
