My father uses 3-5 programs and the rest are websites and even that are few. For this the big start menu is excellent as a dashboard with which he can achieve anything he wants.
I respect your point of view, but you might shown your father the wrong habit. There is no advantage in browser launch speed, when opening a website from Start Menu compare to New Tab / Home page tile. But there's a big advantage in work flow, i.e. PC use culture, when proper methods are used to accomplish proper tasks. Try empowering your farther with this way to think, and suddenly he'll start using and installing other software more often. You'll overcome this way natural hesitance of some older folks in using tech. :)
sambul95 and Drachenboot , I disagree with the assessment that "you might [have] shown your father the wrong habit." It is 100% correct to use a functionality released by Microsoft. That is precisely why Microsoft releases functionality: to be used. However, nowadays Microsoft reserves the right to "break old practices" whenever they want. The "wrong" is on Microsoft's insane pace of change and lack of continuity for functionality. Not on user for using the software. Cheers!
