Techspot editor Matthew DaCarlo has written an editorial on the absence of the Windows 8 start menu (get your replacement here) and why it doesn't matter. According to him, the major issue people are reporting is that Metro is blocking multi-tasking because it's blocking access to the desktop. The author wonders what people think is so important about the desktop and goes on to say that Metro is much easier, as live tiles information can be provided directly on the Metro screen, making the information directly available without an additional click.'
Also the amount of applications that can be directly found, without searching or additional clicks is much higher, according to the author. The Windows Start menu can hold a maximum of 30 items, and the author claims that Metro is able to show up to 84 on a single screen.
And, the author ends his article that if you still dislike Metro, you can use Windows 8 without using Metro. Read the entire article here.
