It's a "downgrade" because in Windows 7 you could simply press start and search without switching context (Metro going full-screen). Windows 7's search was also more comprehensive and didn't require changing the category to find a certain task.

You could also run calc in Windows XP (and lower) by just putting in calc in the run prompt because calc.exe was stored in the system32 folder which by default is in the PATH variable.
