Julie Larson-Green, the new Windows boss explains why you don't need the Start Button in Windows 8. In an interview with MIT Technology Review, she said the Start Screen is the perfect "dashboard" for users to quickly access the content they need the most on their computers.
"With Windows 8, all the different things that you might want to do are there at a glance with the Live Tiles.

It puts you closer to what youre trying to get done," she explained.
