"Removing it is WHY 60% of the world are still clinging to XP and NOT upgrading"
How about the fact that it's not even released yet, and there ARE options like Windows 7 that didn't remove the menu?
Eh, you have a rather thin argument. You don't judge the popularity of something by its pre-release numbers, that's rather silly.
"I am willing to bet that a lot of money could be made by updating and re-releasing XP instead of all this W7-W8 crap because those two operating systems cater only to a loud voiced minority ."
The "loud voiced minority" are the bloggers and IT folks. Obviously, you're part of the "IT folks" category and don't really speak for the majority.
"so far I see nothing of real world value and absolutely zero need to change."
My computer's running faster and boots faster. I have better security, and I haven't had a virus in years. I'm very productive with Windows 7, and I don't regret upgrading to it in the least. In fact, I've found that the way the Windows 7 taskbar works is very much better than Windows XP. Pinning is so much better than the "quick start" bar, as there's a lot less hassle maintaining it.
There's also Aero snap in Windows 7, which is great for file management and drag and drop operations, as well as quickly getting apps to fill the screen. I spend far less time resizing my windows and far more time being productive.
Not to mention the notification bar is improved as well - I can tell it to not show the notifications of some of the more annoying background apps, as well as to easily select which ones I want showing and which ones I don't.
Overall, I feel like I am in a lot more control with Windows 7, and I am a lot more productive. I can't think of a single reason to go back to XP after moving to Windows 7.
As far as Windows 8 goes, only time and experience will really tell. But I am keeping my mind open, and look forward to seeing how it works in the real world.
