I think the current start screen for PCs is completely useless, not that I don't like it. Its colorful and beautiful but for PC users, not very helpful. I've read that the start screen will disappear in Windows 9 and users will be able to launch Metro apps from traditional start menu. That would be cool.

Had enough of this mobile interface, unifying experience etc. nonsense lately.
