While you may think the start button is missing its really just invisible. If you mouse to the lower left corner of the desktop and left-click you get the Start screen. Admittedly it isn't the same as the XP or Win7 opening start menu but it can be configured to serve much the same purpose (often used programs you didn't pin to the task bar or access with icons on your desktop). If you right-click you get a selection of choices that, many may agree, are at least as useful as the ones on XP or Win7.
So the start button is really there, its just invisible. Microsoft, put the start button back where it belongs and save some new user frustrations. Of course, being able to boot directly to the desktop would be nice too
