Hi there
Installing a large complex application like the Adobe Master collection CS5 suite causes about 137 tiles to be generated -- which is extremely annoying and confusing.
With the old menu system you'd gate say ADOBE====>application1===sub menu 1 ====sub menu2 --sub menu 3
===>application2
etc. each of these submenus could have many other submenus and items as well. You could easily get to 6 levels or more !!.
Having several HUNDRED of those wretched little tiles and trying to find the application you want --you might not even KNOW it's name-- is a near impossible task.
You have to be careful when deleting the tiles as well because you don't know if you are deleting the wrong ones' It's actually HOPLESS having this type of application without showing it in some sort of Hierarchy.
Other large complex applications have similar problems when they are installed on W8 -- you could end up with 2,000 or more tiles.
Deleting the correct ones, getting to the executable file for the main application and sending it to the desktop as a short cut is a nightmare, takes forever to do and is a LOT of work. These are NOT simple stand alone applications -- and without some sort of hierarchial system Metro just won't fly for a lot of people -- and I seriously don't believe people if they think having 2,000 tiles at the same level spread out horizontally across your monitor where you need to scroll for about 2 km before finding anything helps productivity either when a simple drop down menu works perfectly.
Enc a screenshot of what I mean --- try installing Adobe master collection, full version of office with visio and project and full version of visual studio - and then tell me Metro is easy to handle with the 2,000 or more tiles you have to clean up. !!!
People just don't seem to get it -- a lot of applications can't be selected with a single mouse click --these are NOT tablet or mobile phone applications where this stuff works --but even on a phone you'd probably find 2,000 tiles rather too much to handle.
These tiles to be even remotely useful should have some sort of hierarchy possible rather than show everything at the same level.
