  Yo, so I'm still rocking that old-school, hierarchical Start
  Menu on Windows.

  The best part about this classic setup is that it literally maps
  out the whole directory tree right in front of you. It doesn't do
  that annoying modern thing where it constantly replaces menus in
  the exact same spot, leaving you totally clueless about how you
  even got there.

  For example, I've got this "Video" program folder set up that 
  I can instantly open just by tapping G then V. (And hey, if I ever
  blank on the hotkeys, they're right there on the screen to remind
  me.) Inside that folder, every single video app I own is just
  one more keystroke away. It’s a lifesaver for quickly tracking
  down programs when the names totally slip my mind - looking at
  you, Avidemux and VirtualDub.

  Honestly, I have zero clue how anyone is supposed to pull that
  off with these new Start Menus.
