> Dumping Metro is a great step toward making Windows 8 more attractive, but the Windows 8 desktop mode still doesn't have a real Start menu. Because they aren't actually dumping metro? The problem with metro wasn't that it was the default UI, but that it replaced the start menu. I really hate all these disingenuous tech reporters who lauded the "return of the start button", when they knew true well that the problem wasn't that the button disappeared, but that the menu was gone. Now we have another shill reporter claiming victory because of a default change, when metro is still just a click away. The problem with metro is that it exists at all (on non touch screen devices).
