So, I've been using Ubuntu now for a couple days, and let me tell you, I am very, very happy with it. (Especially with it being free.)
There are so many features that are better than Windows, I'm not going to list all of them, but a few are Dash Home, and Snapshots. In Windows, you have to take the screenshop, and paste it into MS Paint or whatever, and then save it. But Ubuntu automatically says, "Hey man, you took a screenshot. Where do you wanna save it?"
Anyway, this is a bit off topic, so allow me to get back on subject.
NOTE: this is not in anyway a thread bashing Microsoft.
Metro...Metro...What the ****, Microsoft? Ok, you wanted to get rid of the Start button, and Start menu. Ok. Understood. But why did you have to make it separate from the desktop? OH, you wanted to make it work for tablets too? Well, here is (in my opinion,) how MS should have executed their fullscreen Start menu with Metro apps.
Dash Home is essentially the Start menu of Ubuntu. It's full screen. It's everything you could want. AND it would be a lot better than throwing users out of the Desktop to search for something or launching a non-metro app. OK, so...I guess you're thinking "But the fullscreen metro apps wouldn't work like that..."
Well, here's what I'm proposing, MS have a "fullscreen start menu," like Dash Home, AND have a separate page/screen/whatever for Metro apps.
Why? Because no one wants to go to the ****ing Metro side of Windows just to launch a legacy app that's not shortcutted on the desktop or startbar.
For reference, here is a screenshot of Dash Home:
Also terribly sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm a bit drunk right now and felt the need to rant lol.
