Every one of the methods listed for accessing the Start menu in Windows 8 causes problems in a remote desktop connection.
-The mouse isn't always locked into the active rdc window, so finding the corner of the screen is tedious
-Swiping in from the side of the window with a mouse doesn't work
-Pressing the Start key on your keyboard will open the host Start menu, not the remotely connected instance
Of course rdc is a bit of an edge case, but it's very important for business/power users.

- sprockincat 13y agoIf you run your RDP client in full screen, don't use multiple monitors, and map your windows key to the remote os then it gets a little better. The break-in period is a little painful though, especially disconnecting (Charms Menu > Settings > Power > Disconnect??). I'm hoping the 8.1 update smooths out some of the issues.
