There is ripoff called office 365.
And M$ store for other applications.

They are not concerned about anything but money. Go to our cloud (pay) or buy application in our store. That's philosophy behind all of this.

It's a pretty messed up situation. I guess they really wanted to lunch a new trend.. They just didn't get it right this time. After all if your customers are not happy forget about sales. If 8 is the new Vista I wonder what's coming after this...

Maybe you can still use 3rd party application to bring back start menu, like StartIsBack which works very nicely.
