The Start Screen still brings me nothing over the menu. The way I used to use the Start Menu, was Windows Key + Type. With Windows 8, the search interface eels all wrong: the search being in the top right (awkward), search results to left of search box (awkward), thinking that your search brought up no results, only to then arrow down (Ubuntu lens) and try again.
The mystery meat navigation/control of Windows 8 is the hardest part. I remember the first time I used a tablet with Win 8, and I felt totally lost. I had to Google how to use it. And I've since forgotten all the gestures.
Sure add power shortcuts, but let us have a discoverable user interface.
Also I have Win 8 on a 32inch TV, with fonts and tile sizes increased, and it's still not very usable. I always end up on the floor in front of it cursing.
Not to mention application switching (metro and desktop) etc. It just feels like a very beta interface, and the said plasters in the update don't sound as if they change much.
(Tip: Windows D, Alt + F4, Enter to shutdown lol.)
