I have to refute that statement in regards of Windows 8 on desktop. The amount of confusion in that UI, even for me, is a handful.
If we ignore the metro side of things, I agree with you however.
- frigg 13y ago>If we ignore the metro side of things Yes, absolutely. My start screen is an empty, blue wall with a large tile taking me to the desktop. Despite the start screen I like everything else about the system.
- hexasquid 13y agoThe new one has a setting that boots to desktop, if that helps any.
- gnur 13y agoThat's a shame, the start screen is very useful place to organize shortcuts to your most often used tasks. I use oblytile to generate custom shortcuts and I have (organized by location / purpose) 12 shortcuts to start a ssh/rdp session to a remote server. It also has shortcuts to spotify/outlook/xencenter/vsphere and gmail.
- _random_ 13y agoBut that is just your Start menu expanded to take the whole screen... Were you removing all the items from Start menu on older versions of Windows as well?
