I already dropped a comment on the article itself but anyway. Like many professional users, I don't really use the Start Menu for much, mainly just the Search box. Somehow though they managed to neuter the hell out of that. Metro search is fucking awful, forced categorization of search results was a bad idea and your contextual actions are all limited as well which was another poor decision. Also I really dislike the way Metro apps are managed and speaking more broadly I really hate hot corners, there's a reason they died as a GUI concept awhile ago.

I could care less about dynamic tiles and whatever other nonsense Microsoft is trying to introduce to justify a completely unnecessary upgrade this soon. Don't hurt traditional functionality though, it makes no sense and this imaginary tablet user base is a really poor reason for doing so.
