You just neatly illustrated the tremendous suckage of metro’s jumble of crap versus the logical arrangement inherent to a cascading menu.

Thank you very much.

Yes, I know: You were trying to do the exact opposite of what you actually did.

Pity.

Well that’s great. I prefer to have simplicity, and useful information with the ability to merely just type what I want rather than tiny yellow folders/icons, small text, and seeing where all the ReadMe.txt and Unwise.exe are. Where if I mis-click all 6 layers vanishes waiting for me to waste time digging through them again.

But then again, I appreciate efficiency and not using my PC like it is some sort of soul-sucking contraption stuck looking like something from Clinton’s first term.

I also don’t have a tape deck in my car for the same reason.

Apparently, you would be the type to argue that, simple is actually worse that difficult, when difficult is all that you've been used to.

Menu driven applications will still be around for a long time, but, when they can be replaced with the simpler option of just clicking on one icon or box, then, by all means, the menus should be given the heave-ho.
