The start screen is for starting tasks. I agree that it works as well as any other (it has search, that's all you really need). I'm talking about switching between running tasks though. What is the Windows 8 method that is superior to a taskbar?
Tiled windows managers are not new by the way. But Microsoft has made one that's not very intuitive or full featured for a mouse/keyboard.

- MatthewPhillips 15y agoI understand that; this this a superior method than switching on a taskbar? I say absolutely not.
