Re: Windows 8.1 Ad with Start Button

a small step forward. hopefully windows 8.2 has a way to completely block metro.

Minimize the metro and you've the full fledged windows OS. Why does metro bother you?

I have loved metro with the touch laptops.

Metro seems like it would be awkward to somebody who uses 40 programs rather than 8 "apps". A hierarchical menu seems better for people who do more that launch a browser or play a game.

Put metro into all apps view by default. Then you can have your 10000 icons when you hit the start menu. Clustered into various groups.

Whee. Like a start menu, only better.
