I can't speak for anyone else, but after seeing the trainwreck that is the Start Menu in Windows 7, I immediately looked for a third-party solution to fix it and found Classic Shell. Just like iTunes, the Windows 7 Start Menu seems only useful for people who don't organize their program menu. I organize mine similar to how KDE does it (but I was doing it long before I ever saw KDE) and I can find any app in about 3 clicks.
