I'm running Windows 7. A lot of the icons were either folders that belong in My Documents, or shortcuts to apps that aren't even installed any more. Now I've got 10 icons that all fit nicely in one column at the size I have them rendered. I have chrome and calc next to the start button and the start menu has a handful of regularly accessed apps.

Speaking of OS's, is anyone running Windows 10? I've got the option for the free upgrade, but I've been putting it off. I'm generally not annoyed by the nit picks that a lot of overly vocal nerds seem to freak out about every time any piece of software is updated, but the little bit of interaction I've had with Windows 8 has got me to steer well clear of it.
