Hello Guys,
There has been serious, heated debates and disappoint among users over Microsoft's controversial decision to remove the start button. But I though find some logics behind this, here they are:
1) Start button has been replaced by Start Screen, as simple as that, whether you like it or not.
2) It doesn't make sense to have both since start screen is the replacement of start menu. So, in windows 8, wherever you wander in your computer, when you press the windows logo key on your keyboard, you come right into the start screen. Whereas, in windows 7 pressing the windows key opens the start menu.
3) In the middle of any program, if you don't look at the screen and press the windows logo key on your keyboard and type: notepad and and hit enter, you will get the same result in Windows 8 as in Windows 7. You have notepad in your screen in both windows 7 and 8. Isn't it right? Don't believe? Try and see !!
4) Why do you need the start button? Pin applications? Search Apps? Open Settings? Open control panel?
Couple the charms bar with the start screen and you have all that!!
You have option for pinning more, infact unlimited number of application in start screen than start menu !!
5) And undoubtedly, the main obvious reason: Microsoft wants users to use metro UI
