Microsoft Won't Bring Back the Start Menu Until 2015 516
DroidJason1 (3589319) writes "Microsoft recently announced plans to reintroduce the Start Menu to Windows in an upcoming version of the operating system. While the plan was to roll out an update to Windows 8.1 and offer the Start menu later this year, it seems like this is no longer the case. Now Microsoft is reportedly looking to release the Start Menu with Windows 9, which is expected in April of 2015. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 have faced a boat load of criticism and hatred, partly due to the removal of the Start button and Start menu. The restoration of a visible Start button on the taskbar was one of the key features of the Windows 8.1 update, released back in October of 2013."

After a while, you really have to wonder why they keep doing this.
Yeah, they should only release odd-numbered OS's!

You can get used to Windows dumbed down cmd shell eventually too. But sane people would rather use a real shell. You can get used to losing your legs in the war as well, but better overall to keep them.
