You won't. There's no Start-button in Win8.

Don't like it either. When was it decided that as much rectangular design as possible is good?

This is such utter horrible shit, words fail me. Laughing

Who'd have thought Microsoft would push me toward Apple software so much. There is just no alternative - I won't be running this poop. And Linux is shit as well, so what else is left? My next Ivy Bridge will be hand picked for ease of Hackintosh + Win 7 for games. Such a sad day.

What is this i dont even!
I really dont understand how I am supposed to use this as a computer OS.

And doesnt this app-tile-design completely kill multitasking?! Of course I can switch between APPs, that word alone causes rage in me, but I can't use 2 at the same time.The whole thing seems insanely ridiculous!

And the normal desktop - without modifaction - does not come with a start button, so for starting programs that arent on your desktop or superbar, you will have to return to the tile crap.

I first thought. Hey i could clean the tiles i dont need, because they are "APPs" and thus useless. So now I have a giant empty screen with a giant Desktop button and a smaller Store for which i probably dont have any use either Laughing

And it doesnt seem to be possible to actually close an app (in a normal way), you just go back. My PC is a giant smart phone now... great. WTF
