8 makes sense for a tablet in my mind, but I see no reason to change the way we use regular computers, other than maybe to create a uniform system, and then it still makes more sense to me to maintain the old way.  For people like me who don't thrive on change 8 is a nightmare.

This, this so much. The start screen was designed for touch screens. Navigating it with a mouse feels annoying when you could just have a small applications menu on the taskbar.

There's none of that in Windows 8.1. You have to stop what you're doing and enter the full screen start menu and search for what you wanted in the bar at the top.

there is though

you can press a little arrow on the start menu and it gives you the list of programs
sure, you have to go into the fullscreen start, but there's certainly not "none of that" in 8.1

I was referring to the right-click "start menu" that we were talking about.

Read the rest of the conversation and it will make sense.

What's your favorite Linux distro, OP?

Linux has problems with playing Blockland, but Ubuntu is my favorite.
^Is the reason I dont use Linux platforms for gaming.

I was just saying what I thought was easiest. I find typing what you want easier than looking through a full screen of icons.

Linux and Unix in general is bad for gaming.
However, Steam is pushing towards Linux as a gaming platform by encouraging developers to add Linux compatibility.

This is true

I saw that ninja

And, what?

Remember this? It listed all of your applications at once in one big list.

There's none of that in Windows 8.1. You have to stop what you're doing and enter the full screen start menu and search for what you wanted in the bar at the top.

wow, i literally just said;

if your problem  is "B-BUT THEY REMOVED "SHOW ALL!!!1!" use search

you don't need to go into the full-screen start menu to search, if you use the search function on the windows 8 start menu you'll get a small menu to the right of your screen for it.

Guys. There are tons of start menu programs for win8.1. You can use it just like win7 and get all the benefits of win8.
