I just recently upgraded my dev preview to rtm and I was adding on my family's used accounts and noticed a stupid little tidbit... You have to use two bloody control panels to manage users... Wtf!?

Eh? You don't need anything except the Win RT control panel to add users. You have to use the Win32 ones to edit or remove them. What are you having trouble with?

Ah right I see, you have to open the normal classic user accounts window but when you click "Add new user" it opens the Metro user control panel

It makes no bloody sense to have to use the classic control panel to remove users...
