Windows users can finally find some reason to celebrate since, if rumours are true, Windows 8.1 operating system will soon receive an update that brings back the Start menu that was not available in Windows 8.x operating system all this while.
The Windows 8 operating system received huge flak from users when they discovered the classic Start menu, which was present in all previous versions of Windows is now replaced by a Metro style Start screen which has tiles in place of menus. To add to this, the user interface is rigged in favor of touch screen users alone, completely leaving out the traditional keyboard-and-mouse users.
Looks like Microsoft has finally agreed to relent to the massive appeal to bring back the classic Start menu from those users, who had grown used to this. The company tells The Verge that the Start Menu will most likely be available in the next update of Windows 8.1 operating system that is scheduled to release. Microsoft’s Terry Myerson, head of Windows and Xbox software, held a mini demonstration of the Start menu to show users how the brand new Start menu would look like. Contact us by calling our Windows support number to know more about the new Start menu.
The prototype confirms the rumors of a hybrid Start menu that combines the best of both the classic Start menu and the new Metro style Start screen in bringing out a Start menu that has the functionality of the old Start menu and the new and fresh look of the Windows 8.
In addition to this, Microsoft has revealed that the Metro apps will run in a desktop environment inside their own Windows instead of a Start screen window. While the changes made to Windows 8.1 operating system will be slight, Microsoft is expected to deliver the full scale desktop functionality in the next Windows operating system, Windows 9 which is slated to release next year. Windows 9 operating system is expected to bring in several major changes both to the design and functionality, and to the entire marketing method of the operating system. At the last Build conference, Microsoft revealed that the next operating system would be free for computers and phones under 9 inches in size. Another rumor revealed that Windows 9 will have increased cloud computing facilities.
As can be expected, all the latest developments created quite a buzz among Windows users. To know more information about Windows 9, contact us on our Windows support number.
