Vanishing the traditional start button in Windows 8 was a revolutionary step by Microsoft. That could be a short-lived fame as Microsoft is reportedly planning to revive the start button with Windows 8.1.
A report in The Verge says that the button would aid access to the Start Screen, and will not include the traditional Start Menu. This apart, Microfost is also panning a boot to desktop option to allow users to boot directly to the traditional desktop environment. Microsoft is expected to unveil Windows 8.1 during its Build conference in late June. According to WinBeta via CNET, Windows 8.1 also will offer a wider variety of tile sizes: large, standard, wide, or small and lets you more easily edit named groups of your app tiles. Though it is too early to know the functionality of these features, with all these potential changes, Will Windows 8.1 be a better option than Windows 8?
