what's wrong with Mail and outlook 2013?
You have to install those yourself. They aren't allowed to be installed as its up to the user to decide.

Win8 Metro on a multiple screen setup is FAR to much mouse work to start. Metro is just garbage.. I don't know why soooooo many people are defending it.
Sorry, if I wanted a full screen start menu I'd have 40 or 50 icons on my current desktop. That's not what I want/need, I want/need a standard start menu.

Probably because a lot of people realize it's not garbage.
That being said, the lack of ease of use of multi-monitor hot corners is the biggest issue with Windows 8 from my point of view, everything else I'm pretty much fine with.
Except you can't windows key + search for desktop shortcuts - IMO if you're using either the start menu or the start screen on a system with a keyboard by using any method other than hitting the windows key and typing, you're using it wrong.

why don't you just rename the program to something you can remember?
but honestly, you're using the start menu wrong.

In consumer preview (i believe), they implemented 'corner traps', where your cursor WOULD NOT move onto the second monitor if was within 3-5 pixels of the corner. So that you could fling your mouse into the corner and it would get 'caught' in the 'trap'.
is this gone in the RTM?
No. He is using just like most people use it...as a force multiplier to get shite done FAST. Why the frack would I want to remember the name of 200+ programs just so I could TYPE them in (what is this the DOS days all over again?), when I could hit a frickin icon + label with my mouse? Guess which one is faster. THIS is one of the reasons windows gained market dominance as it was FASTER and EASIER than DOS and Unix. Win 8's start menu is neither fast nor easy. Its a kludge. A kludge meant for fat fingers on toys 'n' tablets....not TOOLS. At the end of the day a desktop PC is a tool, not a toy. Having to install a 3rd party app to gain basic usage abilities is SHAMEFUL.
