I think you’ll find Start 8 is just closer in style to the native Windows 7 experience, by far the best desktop operating system that Microsoft ever developed.
I just hope someone at Microsoft will take the idiotic Metro interface out to the back shed and put a bullet in it.

Is this a new direction from MS, actually listening to what certain subsets of users want? If it is, then I'm impressed. I doubt very much they will bring TechNet back to us also though....I think that interferes too much with what they're hoping to do with Cloud OS.
