I hope its Start 8 styled. I would rather just automatically open the Metro in a small space on the screen (like with Start 8s options) then have it fullscreened or as the legacy menu.
You're going to get one better than that. I'll open the standard Windows 8 start screen in FULL screen.
It's basically an icon that mimics the action of pressing the start key on your keyboard.
It's more about how the start screen and apps are completely isolated from the desktop. And the layout is really space wasting and will take ages to scroll if you have a lot of apps.They actually stopped using the name "Metro"...the Windows 8 start screen is simply called the 'Start Screen', and Metro apps are called 'Windows 8 apps'.
And it gets so much undeserved hate. Is it really that bad to have all your apps on one screen instead of scrolling through a menu list?
Great, they've done another Vista/Win7. Well at least this time around people are getting the upgrade for free
Also pretty sure this was announced a while ago.

Edit: Also it's confusing to people used to earlier versions.
I pin all my shortcuts to my start menu in Windows 7, because it keeps them hidden and out of the way. So fuck Microsoft for removing something I usedailyhourly.
I agree with you about the apps, although they really were just designed for tablets. Most users just stick to using the desktop anyways, especially since programs like Office 2013 are designed for desktop.It's more about how the start screen and apps are completely isolated from the desktop.
