Maybe Microsoft had this debate and if they decided the best thing would
be to keep the start hints(by the way I think the new "gears" picture on it
are uglier than that magician ever was) and add some kind of cool glowing

arrow to the K-Menu saying "Click here to start an application" or something.

I hope that terribly long sentence wasn't too hard to understand.
