Windows 8.1 will let you boot into any app, including the desktop (and even the All Apps screen).
Yep, a bit more about it in This Article (www.digitaltrends.com) - BUT while the start button will be back, its NOT what people are wanting Eg: the W7 and before menu - its back to the tiles
clicking on the Start button will bring you back to the tiled homescreen


Personally like Error Guy, I quite like W8 - when using W7 & W8 every day, its easy to compare.

I actually like it without the Start Button, I find that when I use Windows 7 it's annoying not having my tiles all nicely laid out so I can get to my applications with ease.

1344237 2013-05-31 08:39:00 Yeah. Linux is no good, it doesn't have Designed for Vista stickers on it :badpc: R2x1 (4628)
1344238 2013-05-31 09:06:00 I took Windows 8 off my laptop and put Linux Zorin 6 on it. I will try out Windows 8.1 on it when it is available. It is great to have a spare computer that you can experiment with. Bobh (5192)
1344239 2013-05-31 22:36:00 Good. :devil

I agree. I much prefer the tiles.

Yep. First thing I installed when I loaded Win 8 on to a second partition on my work laptop.. These marketing morons at Microsoft have no idea what PC user want but just what tablet owners think they want..
