Microsoft thinks of the Metro UI as the Desktop, and the Desktop as an application.
I want to modify this way of thinking and put it back to how it should be.
I want to when you login, go to the desktop, I know there is already a registry tweak for this. And I want to add back a start button. But when you hit this start button I want to bring up the metro UI. But not completely full screen. I want to leave the taskbar at the bottom, so you can still easily switch between your open apps.
Doing this creates the feel of a full screen customizable Start Menu, rather than a whole new (crappy) interface we have to learn. It would make live tiles more useful in my eyes too. You could potentially even have the Metro apps work this way too, so you arent taken off the desktop into the new interface, but still interacting with it in a way both users and forseeably microsoft would approve.
This idea came when I was theming my own ViStart start menu, and my friend said he wished he could have a larger start menu that was more customizable, in terms of sorting and viewing. And this just sort of hit me.
