You realise that the new tablet UI REPLACES the Start menu and is mapped to the start button right so whenever you click start, that's what pops up? They spelled it out in the AllthingsD/Computex events, and also state as much in the press release. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2011/jun11/06-01corporatenews.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2011/jun11/06-01... With pinning/shortcuts, people barely use the "All Programs" part of the Start menu in the current Windows 7, so the only casualty is the start menu Search/Run, which will probably be re-implemented in the new start screen when you start typing on it.
