Swiping to the right on Windows 8 to bring up desktop will be better than.....

Microsoft shouldn't relegate the Desktop to an Icon in Windows 8. You should be able to swipe to the right to bring up the traditional desktop. An icon that represents the traditional desktop just makes it feel like an app. We have been relying on this traditional desktop for years. It is bigger and better than a simple Icon. Microsoft, please change this with one fell swoop. Naysayers will feel whole again. Oh, and leave the Start Menu. Do away with it in the next iteration of Windows(9). By then, people will have mastered Metro Windows 8 interface. Deal?
