    This is welcome info.  Metro is totally unusable for anyone who has more than a few applications installed.

    As for Blacky, I suggest you read what you wrote and see if you can make any sense out of it, because I sure can’t.    ”any tell any”?  Seriously?

    Install the “preview with apps” and you have a useless start menu. I can understand wanting to be tablet-friendly, but this is an incredible pain to use. Of course, if you disable the Metro interface, all those demo apps also disappear. I consider that no great loss because switching between them seems darn near impossible.
