Microsoft hits restart button on Windows 8 - Technology & Science - CBC News
Seriously?????????
Have they listened to a single thing that their user base has said WRT wanting the start button back???? Having to search for obscure program names was one of the major issues pointed out WRT not having a start button for folks who use more than just a few programs....
All this appears to be is yet another attempt to shove bing search down our throats since they noticed we keep hiding it in the win7 optional updates window......
Continuing the Windows 8 vision with Windows 8.1
edit: I said it before, and apparently I need to say it again.... it's not the start button itself I want/need, it's the start button functionality.
I know analogies never get it right, but I'm going to try anywise......
Win8 without the start button is like an automobile manufacturer replacing the steering wheel with a voice recognition system...
Saying you're responding to folks who want the functionality back by putting a windows logo that leads to a search function into the location where the start button used to reside would be akin to that auto manu painting a picture of the steering wheel on the dash and moving the microphone into the center of it.....
Users will also be able to ensure their favourite applications, including Word and Excel, appear in a horizontal task bar next to the Windows logo. But instead of a Start menu, the new Windows 8.1 will lean heavily on Microsoft's Bing search engine to help users find whatever it is they're looking for on their computers.
