I'm going to take a completely wild and insane guess: They didn't think it was necessary

Because the world is becoming more and more retarded and less able to do things. They want everything fed to their face without having to work for it.

I had heard it was a tribute of sorts to the Giants Super Bowl victory.

The source has been known to be unreliable though...

This will give a perfect excuse to go GNU Linux next time on all of my machines.

Where did you hear that Microsoft removed the start button in Windows 8? They didn't - it's there.

It's on most big tech sites. The windows key on the keyboard or the windows charm will let you do what the start menu allowed anyway.

They did. It was there on the developer preview but it's gone on the beta that's about to be released at the end of the month.

I ripped winkeys off the keyboard and threw them away because I never use them.

Winkeys are for lazy people anyway.

Is it wrong that when I hear the word "tablet" I get a sudden urge to punch the nearest person in the face?

rofl omg its so tablet oriented!!! looks like it will work like android... notification drop down > start menu.....then all you need is a good file manager like astro, and you have a robust super simple OS
