I always felt the Start button was hiding things from me and forcing me to reorganize my work habits. I spent upwards 15 years trying different plugins, layouts and gadgets to get what I wanted.

It even got to the point where I had a number of folders open up at start up with all my icons neatly grouped. I've always hated the Start Button, and at this point, I always will.

I cheered the Start Screen as a step towards what I wanted. It's close but still short of what I really want.

Also, I advise getting a solid state drive. Prices have come down a lot, and the performance jump is noticeable.
