Just starting to use Windows 8, on a laptop with no touch screen. So far, although it is pretty, I don't see the new Metro "modern" start menu as being very useful, and will likely install one of the third party apps to bring back the traditional Start Menu. (Microsoft really should have included that as an option within Windows, not needing a third party app. I hope they realize that, and add it in an update.However, trying to figure out if the new Metro screen could be useful, once one gets used to it. It looks like every time one installs an app, an icon (or "Live Tile") is added for it in the Metro screen, or multiple icons. If one has a lot of programs installed, that could mean a lot of scrolling through a mess of icons, to find the app you want to start. (Even with a touch screen, which makes the side to side scrolling easier, that could be a hassle.)If, however, one could organize the icons ("Tiles") into folders on the Metro screen, to organize the programs by type, etc. (good to be able to assign an icon for each folder, so that one can distinguish them by more than text), then it could be more useful, organized, not require so much scrolling, etc. (Hell, even the limited IOS allows putting apps together in folders, although not subfolders (unless jailbroken,) Well, I would hope that app folders in Win 8 would not limit the number of apps in each folder, and would allow subfolders.) With such a folder option, it might take a while, but I might be able to get used to Metro as a start menu replacement. Otherwise, I cannot see myself ever finding it useful.Are folders possible on the Metro screen, to put apps together in?Thank you.
