And NONE of them are good enough for me.
I try to use the keyboard as less as possible and i want to do all with my mouse.
And the LAST thing i want to do is typing in the name of the app i want to use!

I LOVE the "old" Windows Startmenu and i use Classic Startmenu on my Windows 7 64b Ultimate giving me the old W2000 startmenu look. All nicely ordered and grouped so with all progs installed it still takes a 1/3 of my screen.

I dont like the pinned apps and i choose to have multiple Quicklaunch bars.
The icons i use very regular are on my desktop (kept in order by Fences).
The ones which are important for me and use often are in my Quicklaunch and the rest through Startmenu. This setup i love and i do hate tiles and the Metro gui.
I tried W8 CP a little while and i hated it... this one is not hitting my desktop.
If you like/love it.. well, good for you.
