Windows 8.1, Start Menu return

[spirit]

Yeah, Aero just got a bad rap when it was on those lowend desktops and laps when Vista came out.

Yeah it did though that being said I've got a friend who has a Dell Inspiron 530 which was released when Vista was still pretty new (Core 2 Duo, 2GB of RAM, integrated graphics) and it ran the Vista Aero UI perfectly well. It's running Windows 7 now (I upgraded it for him a couple of months ago) and that's running well too.

Because just like Vista, MS realized they screwed up by bringing out an inferior OS. So they hurried up and develeped windows 7. Except this time they realized they made a bad mistake by not having the start button included with it. They also realized that sales were bad due to not having the start button included.

Frankly, I don't understand why they made a desktop version of this when its designed more toward touch screens and tablets. There a lot of people in this world that can't adapt to the new way without driving you crazy. I have a few clients that wouldn't be able to navigate windows 8 and would throw the pc out the window, literally.

i agree it is a good concept an nice looking for a tablet i suppose but i dont need big buttons to navigate to apps/programs its just a big system intergration for simalarities between the xbox OS\windows phone\ windows 8
i may use the feature if i ever get a tablet or a all in one pc but for now i am just glad microsoft listened to its customers with the demmand of the readdition of the start menu
