Gadgets are not a deal breaker. That's like claiming that the KePub renderer on the kobo is significantly superior to the ePub renderer since the former allows for a graphical representation of chapters. Does that make the kePub renderer the Win 10/Win 7 to the ePub renderer's Win 8 then? At least one could (I assume) add gadgets to Win 8 from other sources. One can't add chapter graphs to the ePub renderer.
It's NOT the same at all. It's NOT a start menu. It doesn't function the same. How is it the same as the Windows 7 start menu?
