How they thought the abomination of a start menu from W8 was a good idea is beyond me. This is 100x better.


From what I heard at a conference last week, they went all in on touchscreen and didn't expect the backlash that they received from non-touchscreen users. Windows 10 is supposed to detect if you are on a touchscreen device or not, and base the start menu on Windows 8 if you are and Windows 7 if you're not. The user will be able to manually toggle between the 2.

That makes no sense, because a great many people including myself were complaining loudly from the very first beta. The truth of the matter is that Ballmer went full retard, because he was so terrified by Microsoft's miniscule presence in mobile and saw Metro as the grand unifier that would leverage Windows to take over mobile. No surprise that it failed miserably at that. Oh well, now he can regularly go full retard in public at Clippers games, where he can't hurt anyone and is just someone to point and laugh at and envy his $20 billion or whatever it is.

It was a 100% dumbass move by them. Most laptops and desktops do not have touch screens. Taking away the - and X was just plain fricking stupid.
