I can relate to that very much, the only time I ever use it is to click through back to the desktop...

The one big fix for Windows 8.............Windows 7.

 

I'm not using it, but from what I hear, many ppl miss that Start button. Now there's a rumor

that it will be included in the next release. Go figure...

[deepzero]

yes, removing the start button was a remarkably stupid decision. Almost like sabotage....

That's how the developers can sell apps about start buttons.

The rumor is true and from what I have read it won't "Start" as we have known it in previous Windows versions...

Conveniently on the subject of the elusive Start button some latest news about it...

 

 

However, it will not offer all the functionality previously associated with the feature.

Instead it will bring users to the recently-introduced "Metro" interface.

"We've improved the way you navigate to Start with the mouse by changing the Start 'tip' to be the familiar Windows logo," the company said in a blog post.
