Why?

Start-Programs-"Find name of application"-Pick icon-Click

Windows 7 search was one of the things that made the OS so fantastic. Delving into the start menu was only needed when you wanted to find something abstarct, not commonly used.
Click to expand...

I agree its a nice feature but it does require using the keyboard. W7 Start menu has a lot of power using only rhe mouse/trackpad.

It just occurred to me something quixotic about W8 as I understand it. The Metro interface is touch-centric, moving away from the mouse AND keyboard. And the W8 desktop relies a lot more on the keyboard than W7, particularly the Windows key.

So W8 is simultaneously moving away and towards the keyboard.
