I actually found one change to the Start Menu the enabling change for me: Typing the name of something and (often) just getting the application that I wanted to start. Just saying what I want and let the machine to the finding for me just feels like the way things should be done to me.
I'm finding it hard to believe that people are actually pinning infrequently used things like the Control Panel to the task bar or is there another way to access it that I don't know of? Isn't that leading to visual clutter? Users never cease to amaze me.
- barista 15y agoWhat I will be missing if the start menu goes away is the usability of it being there een if I am running something in full screen. I know that I can take my mouse to lower right corner and minimize everything and start typing to find what I want but its just the visual feedback I get from the start menu is very reassuring. How would it work if I don't remember the nname of that new program that I installed 3 months ago and never really used it since.
