Like Computer Management can be loaded by right clicking start and selecting Computer Management, even if I wanted Disk Management. Ever since Vista, most of the launching can be quick and easy and most of all, I love how some recommend typing a Run command when you can just bring up the app by typing in some of the app name, rather than the whole file name (or even through pointer manipulation). Hitting the Window key and typing can lunch any program better than pointer placements and clicking for some apps, and even OS control. It is a link, to a link, and to another link.
Also, when all the 'shortcuts' are 'within' the application such as Steam, and whatever gaming client, they become unnecessary on the desktop. This is asinine due to the flow of the eyes and pointer, but also that Start is parallel with the shortcuts. With Windows, and some other OS's, there is a justified left tendency. I will be expressing more of the modern now. There are a few things that I do not get when it comes to the latter and modern desktop.
