Re: Windows 8.1 Ad with Start Button

That is correct. The new start button takes you to the same Start Screen that is currently in Windows 8. How I know this is that I have ran both the 8.1 preview, as well as 8.1 RTM.

It's just Microsoft's way of saying that the Start screen is the Start menu (and that "start" doesn't really mean what it used to--as in, "start an application"... now it means "start here" [you don't need no steenking desktop!]).

Users need to come out with their own advertising advising Microsoft that, "no, you arrogant pricks, it's not what we want!" Sadly we don't have the money and Microsoft doesn't listen to users so we'll just have to suck it up.

When a company has to pull out all the stops to try and convince users that "this is what we want you to do", at that point they should just suck it up and give users what they want.
