I can't tell if the title is ironic or just overly dramatic.

Re:Microsoft shouldn't have reinstated the start button in Windows 8.1

If you run your RDP client in full screen, don't use multiple monitors, and map your windows key to the remote os then it gets a little better. The break-in period is a little painful though, especially disconnecting (Charms Menu > Settings > Power > Disconnect??). I'm hoping the 8.1 update smooths out some of the issues.

Every one of the methods listed for accessing the Start menu in Windows 8 causes problems in a remote desktop connection.
-The mouse isn't always locked into the active rdc window, so finding the corner of the screen is tedious
-Swiping in from the side of the window with a mouse doesn't work
-Pressing the Start key on your keyboard will open the host Start menu, not the remotely connected instance
Of course rdc is a bit of an edge case, but it's very important for business/power users.
