Like I said, not useful for me anyway, too many apps.  I normally have over
15 open at a time and may start others...

   It is not the set of most recently used.  It is closer to most used.  The
items at the top of the list stay at the top of the list, assuming you use
them.  You can force any item off the list and you can pin items to the
list.

  I run too many apps for the most recently used apps to be of any use, and
  you can put items in the classic start menu even easier than
"Pin"ing them
  there, just drag an icon to the start menu button.

  I'll take the classic menus even though I never really liked them either.
