... Have you tried printing a document from word 2013?
It TAKES SIX, YES, SIX MOUSE CLICKS just to print a document.
Word 2007 took TWO mouse clicks..
Yeah, that IS "productivity" :h
Just tried it in Word 2013, 2 mouse clicks (can't even figure out how you could possibly make it take 6 mouse clicks!)

Another example of stupid is the start menu is GONE :S , no longer is ALL the functions and features of the OS AND PROGRAMS gathered into ONE PLACE.. Even the "Metro" screen does not have ALL the functions or Programs in it..
Speaking of the "metro" screen, what a time waster..
Due to the absence of the Start menu, you have no easy way to put a shortcut onto the desktop for the programs of interest..
For example, if you want Note Pad, Snip, Paint or any other built in programs you must go to "Metro" or PIN it the the "task bar" at the bottom of your screen.. That is plain stupid.
I haven't used the Start menu since before Win 2000 so didn't miss it when they dropped it in Win 8. It's extremely easy to setup shortcuts to programs for anyone that know what the heck they're doing. Simple use the Search function to find Notepad (BTW, on my system, typing the letters "no" into search finds notepad.exe. Then it's very easy to right-click and select "send to desktop (create shortcut)". Works great, just like it did in Win 7.
BTW, from the Metro screen, you can click on the down arrow at the bottom of the screen to bring up the "All programs" screen which does have all the programs in it.
