   Interesting.   
      
   IMHO, the biggest flaw of the Windows-10-style Start Menu, besides the   
   tiles being binary and hence useless, is the alphabetical start menu.   
      
   It's not so much that organizing apps by the alphabet is as absurd as   
   organizing your utensils by the alphabet, but that Microsoft allows too   
   much crap to get into the start menu such that you have to clean it up.   
      
   Since I designed systems for decades, the system I'd have implemented is a   
   menu that no program installer can populate. It would be user populated.   
      
   The programs could populate anywhere else, such as the desktop or the start   
   menu, but the user would have an easy way to slide that shortcut to this   
   menu such that it's ONLY under user control and hence is never polluted.   
      
   There's more to the design of course, such as hierarchies, but if the "new"   
   Windows 11 Start Menu has anything like that, please do let me know.   
      
   Because at this point, Windows 11 is a downgrade from Windows 10's GUI.   
   And I know GUIs.
