Yeah I don't replace the start menu either. There's a setting to make it go straight to the program list instead of the pin board, and I enabled that along with booting to the desktop. It's a shame they're not enabled by default, though, because most people don't dig through the settings and look for that kind of thing.

Windows 10... They've tried a couple things in the dev preview that I didn't like, such as separating the search box from the start menu, but at least that one got reverted later. The hybrid start menu and windowed universal apps seem like the core new features, though, and both should be awesome.

Yeah, I'm really excited for what Windows 10 has the potential to be if it's handled correctly, I think that as long as they don't push some sort of weird licensing/subscription fees on the OS, and they don't release a buggy OS (I'm not too worried about this part, the dev preview was pretty rock solid in my limited use of it), then it should take off given some time. I just got the "reserve your upgrade" prompt last night, and to wake up today to a confirmed release date is cool. Hopefully they handle everything well and Windows 10 ends up being a success, I don't want to have to search for an alternative.
