Sigh... I never had problems with the start screen. It's basically is a start menu. Although, in Win7 99% of the programs I used I pin to the task bar... and the rest I hit window key, typed in the name, (maybe arrow to it) and press enter to run it... which works exactly the same in Windows 8. Windows 8.1 start screen is even more Start menu like too.

That said there are some things I would like to see. I would like to be able to run Windows Store apps windowed rather than full screen on Windows 8 Pro. Although, 8.1 at least improves multi-screen use and mixing Windows Store apps with desktop apps.

Of course, your welcome to complain about it... I just think most people complain about different rather than taking 10 minutes to learn it and keep an open mind. I just disagree with everyone that claims windows 8 is so bad because the start menu is now a bunch of tiles rather than a list of apps.

...Oh, and if you don't like it, stick with Windows 7... that does't hurt me in any way.
