Win8 vs. Win7: How is it (ignoring new interface)?

Try this... On the Metro Start screen do a right click on a non-tile area and then click on "All Apps".  You get a nicely categorized screen of all apps, applications, and utilities.  I find this much more efficient than trying to drill down through the old W7 start screen.

I've had W8 for a month now and love it.  The first few days I wanted to throw it against the wall.  Now I wouldn't even consider downgrading to W7.
