You never could "just start typing" when on the desktop. You either had to click the start button or the windows key. That's still true in Windows 8.

- gregd 14y agoI didn't say you could. But the start menu was always one click away. Now it's a hot corner, a click, and typing to find the program, away. Well except I bought and paid for Start8 and I've been way happier with it installed.

- stinos 14y ago"But the start menu was always one click away. Now it's a hot corner, a click, and typing to find the program" I do not have Windows 8 but just reading this makes it sounds like two methods that are exactly the same? - moving the mouse to the start orb == moving the mouse to a hot corner - clicking the orb == clicking the hot corner - typing == typing
