I don't understand the utility of this boot to desktop feature. The moment you want to do anything, you're back in the start menu launching programs.

What problem does it solve, besides moving the first thing you use to the second thing you use?

Many people also have pinned applications to the task bar. For 95 % of programs I launch I don't need the start menu or start screen at all.

Then why not pin those to the start screen, as well, and have an even larger mouse target for getting started that isn't at the bottom of your screen? (Unless you're using Win+1-9, in which case, ignore me)
