Re: Windows 8.1 Ad with Start Button said by sivran:Pointless.
Unless there's something useful in 8.1 I don't think I'll bother even if it is free.
There's quite a bit that's worthwhile in 8.1 The start icon is pretty much there just because of all the complaining.

In a classic MS move, they gave users what they were asking for while entirely ignoring what we actually wanted: You want a Start button? Okay, here's a Start button. It launches the UI you were trying to avoid in the first place. Suck on that customers. |

Exactly... they could have nipped this in the bud... but no... and they have not been paying attention to this SINCE BETA.
Hey at least its good news for 3rd party start menu makers. |

On the other hand, not really seeing any reason not to get it, aside from inertia. Unless they decide to start charging Windows 8 users for it before I get it. That'd be a deal breaker.

Ultimately, you'll probably have to go out of your way to avoid it (why bother).

What difference can a start menu make? Oh wait. It comes really handy. |
