Of course they keep the start screen, however much I wish death upon it.So it has a list of apps on the left-hand side, an "All Apps" option and a search bar, and some metro tiles on the right-hand side.
Isn't the only difference between this and the start screen as it is now that the start menu is not full screen? I have all the apps I use regularly pinned on the left-hand side of my start screen, with the metro tiles pinned to the right.
So if the only change is less usable UI space, I hope there will be an option to keep the start screen instead of a start menu.
I agree on the storage space used, but there are tons of performance increases in Widnows 7 and 8 compared to older OSes, particularly Vista. I've installed 7 and 8 on decade old machines that shipped with XP, and they arguably ran faster than a clean XP install, at least when given enough graphics power (For Aero) and RAM (4GB is good for 8, 2GB is even manageable for 7)I just want a lighter version of Windows, less code, less features, just enough to run the applications I install. (such as Steam, Office, Firefox)
Why does Windows need to get bigger, heavier, slower with each iteration?
Those tiles are so ugly and forced. Give me a Windows 7 look and feel with Windows 8.1 performance.
Wait. That's to much to ask....

No real horse in this race, I use 7 and love it, no plans on going to 8. What I found a little interesting was the posts with anything remotely negative to say about 8 all seemed to be downvoted - and anything with something positive were voted up. Interesting.
