The Windows 10 start menu is way more configurable. It doesn't waste space for "recommended" apps either.

It's twice the size as it was in win7, and 100% of the extra space is used to display icons for apps that I don't use, don't want, and can't be removed.

Windows 10 start menu can remove all the apps you don't need. You can have an entire empty menu if you'd like. You can even hide the app list.

Not only that, you can even resize it to be half the size of Windows 7.

The fuck you on about?
