Those are the people who use maybe three applications and don't need to wade through the Start Menu.

I after careful thought, that mirrors the usage on my PC at home.
I open four things.

Outlook
Steam
Firefox
VMware player.

What I do in the VMware instances is another matter.

I'm a little heavier.

Firefox (12 tabs by default)
Windows Live Mail
Adobe Premiere Elements
Paint Shop Pro X4
Olympus Viewer
Blurb Booksmart (not always, but often enough to count)
SSH Secure File Transfer
Windows Media Player
VLC Player
Occasionally Internet Explorer 9

I have a Win 8 phone (Nokia 920), and I like how the tiles update whenever I get a new message (email, text, or VM). And there are other tiles I've installed that show stock market updates, sports scores, and so on. This allows you to see if anything has changed, without having to actually open the app.

But that's the only good thing about Win 8, imo. If you have a ton of apps and want to find them quickly, the old Start menu technique worked better.

Oh I know too well. My users require that shortcuts be on the desktop or else they can't work

Well obviously if the shortcut isn't on the desktop, it means that the programme isn't installed.

And if those shortcuts were to move around or snap back into place..
