Thats a nice feature i guess

That start menu looks like a Windows Phone. I won't be surprised if they add another port. A SIM card port/slot. :)

Fair enough, but I didn't buy their propaganda for a moment... all thay wanted was to coax users towards a touch environment where they hoped to make inroads... even an M$ systems designer admitted to this.

If their telemetry was accurate there would not have been such a huge outcry and Windows 8 would had sold a hellava lot better than it has.

Agreed.

I read a MS blog article about "Metro vs Start Menu", which had pretty hotspot pictures "proving" Metro was better than the Start Menu.
The first few comments I read made the point that whoever created this data was obviously unaware of how to actually use the Start Menu.

In other words, Microsoft's standard inability to explain how their software works was the problem.

Ironically, they then committed exactly the same error, when they released W8.
