Win10 looks like it is going to go even further with the legacy regression, so I am dead worried. Can anyone who has the trial confirm that we are going to have an actual choice between legacy interface (start menu, apps neutered to run on desktop, legacy context menus and application top bars etc.) and modern metro interface?
This will be my main decision making factor (that and any ability to move metro apps to SD card like my WinPhone, which better be there!). Please advise, early adopters. I need your guidance.
yea, you can, right click on an empty spot in the start menu select properties, than navigate to the "start menu" tab, the very first check box is the toggle between the start screen and the start menu!
EDIT
just found this little tid bit:

you bring the menu up by clicking the 3 dots all apps have, and those 3 dots show up in the same place when in full screen mode
