1338949 2013-04-29 23:51:00 Hi all, a MS partner I was playing golf with on Saturday at Gulf Harbour, told me that public disappointment at the missing start button, has prompted them into bringing it back with a patch!...Yay!



Cliffs; poor effort at bragging about playing at gulf harbour and W8 start button..
:clap

LOL

So really they are just going to unhide the Start button from the bottom left corner and put it back where it was.

1338951 2013-04-30 00:02:00 But will it be an actual separate downloadable patch, or actually Windows 8.1

1338954 2013-04-30 01:45:00 If the button shows up I'll be getting rid of it. Whats the point? I have a perfectly good start button on my keyboard! The Error Guy (14052)

It's not about the button, it's about the menu.

1338956 2013-04-30 04:14:00 Even the current menu layout is no big deal . Once you get used to how W8 is laid out and actually works its very easy .

All it takes is a bit of thinking, but then again some people need to be spoon fed and cant think anyway .
The majority of people hardly ever use the menu, generally theres shortcuts on the desktop to what ever the task is they wise to use .

I can honestly say even on W7 and before, once I have the shortcuts created its lucky if I go into the menus at the most once every couple of weeks ( if that)
I have got and also setup W8 with the programs people want, and its so damn easy and quicker .

Heres an example W7 - Click start, go to all Programs, menu expands, locate the folder/program you want, then click it = Open

W8 once the shortcut is on the start screen --- Press the Windows key - click program = Open

Opening the control Panel - almost the same in both versions of windows 7 & 8 - the only difference is W7 is on the left, W8 is on the right . big hairy deal .

I'm in agreement with Error Guy, if the start button / Menu appears they will be disabled .

1338957 2013-04-30 04:27:00 Why is it quicker clicking a shortcut than clicking start?
Anyway I doubt if win 8 will be around for long the way it's selling.
