Your Opinion Matters: Metro vs. Start Button

b2ap3_thumbnail_startbutton1.jpgOne of the most controversial decisions from Microsoft was the removal of the Start button with the Windows 8 operating system. Many longtime Windows users refused to upgrade, while others cheered the more mobile friendly touch-based Metro interface. Where do you land on this hot issue? Are you a hardcore Start button enthusiast, or do you think the Metro interface is better?

Your opinion matters. Microsoft has been listening to user's comments ever since Windows 8 was released, which is why they are adding a modified Start button to Windows 8.1, which was previewed at the recent Build Conference and is scheduled to be released late 2013. Even with the release of Windows 8.1, the Metro vs. Start button debate is sure to rage on. What do you think? Pick a side and make your case in the comments!
