content: Yeah, it's not the same as the Windows 7 start menu (which IMO was pretty much the perfect incarnation of the start menu - everything you need including instant search/run, nothing you don't). My Win8 experience has improved by a factor of at least a bajillion since I installed Launchy which is basically Quicksilver for Windows (although, to be fair, not quite as schmick with its search results as Quicksilver on OSX). Now I barely ever need to use either the 'start menu' or that horrendous full screen start page.
