I can see what Microsoft is driving at. This pops up a tiny version of the home screen, as if to say, "see, this isn't so bad, is it?"
Originally I hated the Win 8 approach. But I've begrudgingly come around to full screen launching with fat, easy to mash buttons. (er, tiles, sure.)
If Microsoft had just expanded the start menu by an inch or so every edition, they might have eased everyone into a home screen without any protests.
