*Why Windows 8 Start Menu's Absence 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.
