1. Windows 8.1 Will Retrieve The Start Button
Microsoft has recently decided to revive that start button in its newly designed windows 8.1
(Blue), which is supposed to be released later this year. This can be observed in the last week's
news that Windows 8.1 will directly log you in and let you skip the start screen, so that you can
directly reach your desktop.
This news was reported by The Verge which publishes all the news that is unusual and is related
to the upcoming plans of Microsoft. Although the Microsoft's fanatics must not get too excited
because it has also been found out that the newly revived start button will pop up a new tile-
based Metro Start screen. At the moment there are no recent plans of Microsoft to retrieve its
older version of Start Menu, those who still want to use it, have the option to install a third
party Start button/menu app. Nobody can judge at the moment if Microsoft is planning to trail
off from its Start-Screen uber allies stance to calm Desktop users, it would only be then that the
start menu will finally make sense by making the most awaited return. For now we are also
oblivious that if a start button would be shown by default within windows 8.1, or can be
activated through the option that is hidden deep within the Control Panel.
Had Microsoft only went for just demolishing the making of its Start button or introducing the
newly designed screen, it would itself had been bad enough. Microsoft is endeavoring to do
both things at the same time which isolate the old users and confusing the new users would
always stay one of the greatest mysteries in the cyberworld. As the start menu is very
important there was for sure a lot of argument behind its removal. Microsoft defended the
entire argument by saying that the previous start screen was not much useful and the new one
has incorporated most of its features. The head of Microsoft Julie Larson Green told the media
that it is expected that the users will feel comfortable with using this newly introduced start
screen within the time span of six weeks and would also conveniently comprehend its interface
changes.
In Microsoft's defense it is also being said that the previous start button and menu was
removed because it was crammed with the data gathered by Window's 7's Customer
Experience Improvement Program. Many sources are also assuming that Microsoft is imposing
the usage of this newly crafted button on the users in an attempt to boost its market share and
escalate its mobile relevancy. But until now nobody can understand what actual hidden truth is
behind this new start menu is.
