Re: A Cheaper Microsoft Office 365 Will be Launched Soon
You know, when I first saw the start menu was gonna go away, I was rather annoyed. But I've been paying attention to my computer use recently, and I never ever use the Dang start menu. Nor do I use desktop icons. So I can't really see a reason to not upgrade to win 8. I should do it. Because 7 is old enough at this point - can't imagine running XP, godDang.

If I need to open up something on the desktop, I go through the file manager and open it as a folder 100% of the time.
I have the programs I actually use pinned to the start bar, and for the most part I never close them.
When I do use the start menu, though, I don't exactly want it to take over my screen. That's like... the reason I don't use the desktop and use the file manager instead.
The real reason I'm not running 8 is that I don't care to go through the effort of installing it.

My laptop came with Windows 8. I use the Start Menu all the time, so I installed Start8. It was usable, but Win8 has lots of little quirks that annoyed me and I eventually got fed up with them and installed Windows 7. Oddly enough, I noticed improvements in battery life and performance. To be fair, I never updated to 8.1, so I can't comment on how improved or more broken it is.
Everyone uses Windows differently, so we feel differently about the changes in 8. And that's the biggest problem I have with the direction Microsoft is going in. Windows used to be, well, not open, but at least flexible. You could use it how you want. Now Microsoft is taking an Apple-like attitude of dictating how you will use their OS.

I never had a problem with not having a start menu.
That said, 99% of the time, when I launch a program I used to go:
[start]->'C:/g/steam.exe'->[Enter]
Now I just go:
[start]->'st'->[Enter]
But I use my taskbar on the left though, so I guess I'm *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ing weird.
