You could also look at it like this: If the USA Today is reporting it, it must be a big story.
You'll all soon see that I'm correct and you are all /wrong/.
Which bit were they wrong about exactly? The removal of the start menu?

That and pushing metro on enterprise. Metro is great for touch based devices, but it will /never/ work for enterprise. I said /never/!

You see, I think Metro isn't so bad for enterprise. It's like have a desktop with specific widgets on it. I do dislike 'corners' though.

Yeah, and the corners are even tougher on multi-monitors and RDP. It's not that Metro is bad really, but no one cares when they are at work. There are days upon days that I never see my desktop, and others have excel or Great Plains or whatever opened all day, they don't care about live tiles. But they do care when they try to open a program and have to navigate a poorly implemented start screen, when it just to be as easy as clicking start/windows button and picking what you want.

So if it's the same, why is it now different? What is better about pressing the keyboard key? Why change it? It was fine. And the only tiles you see are the ones you don't even want to see.

You can re-arrange the icons. Have you not tried doing that? Also, clicking in the bottom-left corner of the screen brings the Start window up.

I have not, because I'm not using the rubbish. Oh wait, I suddenly love Windows 8 now. So carry on, while I enjoy the fantastic changes!

I think we're just having a few problems working out why you keep complaining about bits of Windows 8 not doing things that they actually can do.

Where do I keep complaining about it? I think if look you'll see that over and over I keep saying they've changed things just to change them and didn't put any thought into it. There is nothing better about Windows 8 for desktop/laptop.
