Why Microsoft killed the Windows Start button
Cloq:
Seriously!? Since when did people stop using the start button?
Wonder if MS realizes that they probably just screwed the business community. I can already see the chaos.
Why Microsoft killed the Windows Start button

Interesting. I was originally assuming that it was because they were smoking crack. Now I see that it's just because they're idiots. Learn something new every day~! :P

I almost never use the start button in Windows 7. Kind of.
To launch applications, I press the Windows Key on the keyboard, and then start typing. Or I use other keyboard shortcuts, like Win+E to open Explorer. Or Win+R for the Run command.
I pretty much only use the start button to access the control panel or other admin-like tasks. But even then I can often find it from the search, rather than navigating the start menu.

Most of the time I use the Start button to stop the computer.

Well, in Windows 8, that's not in the start menu any more. Shutdown is almost an Easter egg.
