Palm, - True, you can do the same thing in W7
But most people don't.
I was addressing those people. I will call them the "mousers".
I was using C-A-L-C as an example but if I wanted to teach someone how to use the Windows 8 start menu efficiently I would say, "If you want to open a program and you know at least part of the filename, just type the part you know, look at the screen, if you see it, press the enter key. When you are on a computer other than your own, you no longer have figure out where in the "All Programs" it is located. (people can and do relocate those programs)
If you want Microsoft Excel, just type "Excel" and hit the enter key.
If it's your own computer, set it up the way you want it. Make a category. Make a tile. Pin it to the taskbar. But know that if you go on someone else's computer, you can always find it if you type the name of the program from the start menu."
I think most people would find that information very useful.
The funny thing is, many office workers buy a calculator or adding machine rather than use the one built in.
