Reading between the lines Microsoft intend for the start menu to be back in all its glory in windows 9, i say the sooner the better and considering what a failure windows 8 has been i think it will be sooner rather than later. :)

Glad the start menu is back and I think it looks good.

It has also been announced that windows or windows phone will be free for all OEM devices small than 9 inches.

yeah this failure of an operating system that has a market share of over 10% when you add 8 and 8.1 which is 8 times that of linux and 2.5 % higher than make. If you count that as failure well what do you think about the other 2?

Clearly its failed to some degree, or they wouldn't have considered changing it back...

MS greatly screwed up thinking that the whole world was going to be using a touch screen interface, and tried to force the issue. Too early & with an interface that *might* be ok on a phone or tablet, but for a desktop environment? come on. There's a reason why desktop/productivity users have a mouse & keyboard, and it's not for sentimentality is it.


Mindset/Tech/UI isn't there yet for a full on touchy only experience. MS bungled it, and are now trying to rectify the situation. Steve Ballmer provided a useful sacrifice too.


I'll be on Windows 8.1 in a day or so, and will be fine, mainly thanks to people that do the Classic Start menu software. I'm comfortably reassured that with 'Metro' out of the way, I'll be happily enjoying the (many) bits of Windows 8 that do work for me in my particular configuration.

I'm also that guy who had ZERO problems or Issues with VIsta and felt that most of the hysteria surrounding that was more due to media frenzy than user issues.

10% market share failure? well Nix and Mac must really be up a certain creek without a paddle then

They were not wrong at all about tablets and mobile interfaces. It is clear there has been a switch to mobile computing . They were just incorrect about the place Windows had in it at this time.

I to had no issues with Vista as I have no issues with Windows 8 and the very fact I was totally correct about there being "fixes" for the start menu straight away and always has been all along means that windows 8 in all fairness is no different to any other windows operating system since 95. People are afraid of change

so true that mate I never had 1 problem with windows 8 since it came out I am running 8.1 update 1 since it was leaked it very good it should stop some of moaning about windows 8 and after this update 1 is officially released on Tuesday in the next update the start menu will be back sometime later this year that should stop lot of the moaning too I have not missed the start menu one bit much quicker without it IMHO but with it coming back that should stop lots of people complaining too.


I LOVE MY WINDOWS 8 ;););)
