Microsoft Windows 8.1 Timing All Wrong
It is going to be very difficult for Microsoft to succeed with Windows 8.1, and that has little to do with whether the official build will include a Start button or boot-to-desktop option. Rather, it's because Microsoft picked a terrible time to release the upcoming follow-on to Windows 8.

Windows Blue's Start button -- no, it won't be the real thing
The Start button that Microsoft is said to be baking into Windows Blue may not be the Start button that users are clamoring for. In fact, it is said to do the exact opposite of what people want it to do, and merely bring up the Windows 8 Start screen, but not the traditional Start menu. So reports the Verge, and if true it would be a major misstep for Microsoft.
