*Why Windows 8 Start Menu's Absence is Irrelevant*

http://www.techspot.com/article/554-windows-8-start-menu-is-irrelevant/

Although every product deserves healthy criticism, many opinions of Windows
8 seem to be based on misconceptions, especially when it comes to the
viability of Metro as a Start menu replacement. For the record, I don't
care if you skip the update -- hell, I might pass on it too -- nor do I
care if it's the most failtastic operating system in Windows' 26-year
history.

However, I believe your opinion should be formed by facts, not irrational
rhetoric parroted online by so-called power users and companies that want
to sell you third-party programs. The truth is, functionally speaking,
Metro is basically identical to the Start menu.

Thank you.
