I think that pushing it back is a good idea to get it right. Looking a what is rumored I think that looks just great, IMO,.

Rumored start button image for "threshold/9"

 

I hope they make the new start menu configurable. Personally I wouldn't need access to metro apps from there and would prefer something like the old Windows 7 start menu.

They don't actually need to do anything now about the start menu as long as they don't shut out Classic Shell. Or if they can buy Classic Shell, that's the best thing they can do. Microsoft can't understand the fact that users like personalizing their OS and they are doing really bad at this.

 

I have used Classic Shell in the past and it worked just fine, but now I have the applications I use the most either on the task bar, or on the desktop, along with "All Apps" configured to open when I click on the Windows icon. This seems to work just fine for me. But if they do indeed bring back the Start Menu in Windows 9, I'm sure I would use it, even though I could get along without it.

 

It's not something I want or need, but I'll have a look at it if it becomes real. Hopefully you can turn it off if you want. I like the way the current Start Screen and All Apps screen work.

 

I have little faith in Windows 9, I think they will have a Start menu, cut out more Windows 7 type tools, push Bing to increase profits and try to incorporate their Cloud services. I doubt Windows 9 will be the savior people are hoping for.

I no longer have trust in corporate America, starting with Microsoft. They are little more than pimps trying to peddle their wares.

 

Trust No1 could you please tell us what country doesn't have companies that try to sell their products and services make a profit.

 

I don't have a problem with profit, and I didn't say that, so please don't put words in my mouth. I do have a problem of getting an inferior product and being charged the same or more. I also don't like paying for something that will shove advertising on me (I come from a time of free TV). I hope my future assessment of Windows 9 is wrong, we shall see.

 

Oh dear God in heaven NO..!! All they would end up doing is screwing it up royally. It was their disaster with 8 that really gave rise to Classic Shell in the first place. No, I think clueless types at ms central ought to keep their hands off Classic Shell completely

 

Lol, been using the Classic Shell Start Menu on 7 for years. It was just a necessity for many on 8 *Wink

 

They could do it better, if they wanted to, IMHO. It all comes down to "do they want to". I really hope they do a Touch, non touch, split that is a selectable option. I get that people want the old antiquated *Tongue start menu. I hope they get what they want, as long as I can turn it off if I want. *Cool
