It took Microsoft 5 years to realize that removing the Start menu was a mistake, and to correct it. Is that progress?
I've been using Windows 8 and now 8.1 since day one. The first thing I disabled or bypassed was the Metro screen. After that, the OS functions basically the same as Windows 7. I'm on the desktop mode all the time for my PC and laptop. For the tablet, I like to use the Metro interface as everything is laid out for easy access.
