  14. Windows 8 Debunking Myths About Windows 8: Understanding the Start Screen Controversy

    I will say, missing or writing the rest of an OS because of a certain Start screen is somewhere between sad & silly. Making an big issue, fuss & blockage over a Start screen, that not only doesn't need to be used (There IS choice) but, gets in the way of nothing, hardly makes grounded sense...

    Here is a photo of my W8 Virtual Machine (@ the moment). It's been different & may change again from time to time. Just you'd enjoy sharing a glimpse @ it. There's no traditional Start Menu but, I hardly ever use the W7 Start Menue (now), so it's ok. Between Quick Launch, Pinning things &...
