Moronic comment
Because they didn't remove it, did they? It really is very simple:
The Start MENU has gone. Instead of clicking the bottom left corner of the screen, press the Windows key and the Start SCREEN appears. From here you can launch you apps/programs or whatever you want to call them. Alternatively Press Windows+Q or move the mouse to the right-hand corner to bring up the Search charm and type it in there. It honestly isn't hard, it isn't even slower, it's FASTER. If you don't like it, fine, you probably didn't like it when the motor car was invented because you were used to riding your horse and carriage everywhere. It's not coming back. Deal with it. Eventually you will wonder why you ever bothered with it. I adjusted to it immediately and I was fully expecting to hate it.
