When you go into metro, just type the name of the program you want to run. And there are program files. |

1. Click start menu. 2. Click program you want. 3. Success! Now: 1. Click start menu 2. Peruse the disorganized collection of tiles all over the place 3. Give up looking and click into the box to search for what you're looking for 4. Type the name of the program you're looking for 5. Half-hearted success It's not a matter of it being completely non-functional. It's a matter of it being considerably less efficient than the old system. |

If you don't understand why people miss the Start Menu, you never understood the Start Menu. |

1) Click metro button/press Windows button
2) Type in the first 1 or 2 letters of program you want 3) Click program That's more efficient than looking through any start menu. |

The Windows Start menu has all of your apps organized in alphabetical order, gives you the option to pin commonly used apps to a prominent position at the top, provides you with an easy way to find links to things such as the Control Panel, Printers, your documents, pictures, music, and a Help panel. Plus, it's a scrollable list that takes up less than a third of your screen real estate. The Metro interface was simply a lame attempt by Microsoft to make their interface mimic the interface used by the iPhone and iPad. If you truly believe your method of finding an app is better and more efficient that the Start Menu that was introduced in Windows 95 and has been tweaked and improved in every iteration of Windows prior to Windows 8, then I'm not going to waste my time debating this issue with you. It's utterly hopeless and will just wind up frustrating me and everybody else who reads this thread. The fact is that the vast majority of Windows users agree with me and disagree with you. That's why Microsoft is going to restore the actual Start menu in Windows 8.2. If you prefer to use your method, more power to you. Just don't continue to plead ignorance. |

8 runs fast and smooth for me, even on my desktop, the metro doesn't bother me, especially after 8.1. I cleared off all the apps that I don't like, put up a few that I do, and then normally I just type in what I want and then hit enter like I did in Windows 7 on the start menu. I will give Apple that their app store is light years ahead of M$'s, but as far as real tablets go, the SP2 is pretty fricking awesome, and destroys the iPad in every way that I can think of that actually matters. |

If you really want to close it though, then try CTRL+Shift+ESC and end the task/process. |

1. Push Windows key to go back to Metro, select Desktop icon if you haven't unpinned it. 2. Windows Key + M 3. Alt + Tab to cycle through open windows and desktop |
