So you are saying that you don't like things because they are different than the others. That's kinda racist I think. Imo things don't need to be the same that they were back in Windows 98. It's Metro-styled because of Windows' Mobile OS, and I like the way it's different. Windows 8 is a tablet OS, and that's why it lacks some of the functionalities. It's new and refreshing. I'm not saying your opinion is wrong, and I gotta say, missing Start button was a bit confusing. But if you use it daily, like I do, you are gonna love it! You can't stick with the desktop design forever. Things have to change or ppl get bored. In future, there isn't going to be any W7 computers out in the shops. Microsoft rules here and tells the other what to do.
