FWIW, 8.1 said the Start "button" would return, not the Menu. Dodgy advertising I agree, but they never said the Menu would actually be there.
And it was the press who jumped on 8.1 U1 as the return - MS just said it would be in a forthcoming update IIRC. Although I'm not really defending MS - they could have handled this infinitely better.

BlackBerry, which may make me an antiques dealer, but it's reliable as hell for email delivery :-) -----Original Message----- From: Hank Arnold <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected]: Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:42:31 To: <[email protected]> Reply-to: [email protected] Subject: Re[2]: [NTSysADM] Start Menu returns I agree. I've used Classic Shell and Start8 and the latter is just better. They update it often with new versions. I'm very cynical about what (and when) MS will deliver a "Start Menu". Remember the press about 8.1? That was supposed to be the return. Next is was Update 1. Now it's Update 2.
