Windows 8.1's Start Button Isn’t a Start Button
Microsoft essentially installed a shortcut to the Start Menu and called it a button
The headlines are loud and clear. Microsoft brings back the Start Button in Windows 8! Huzzah! ZONG! But don’t believe the hype. We’ve been duped. Windows 8.1's Start Button isn’t the Start Button of old. The classic multi-step application launcher is still missing. Windows 8.1's Start Button is more of a shortcut to the Start Menu — you know, the screen with the little colorful icons. A right-click on the so-called Start Button pulls up a quick launch menu of shorts. The menu displays a list of administrative tools like Power Options, Event View, Disk Management and Windows Shells. It’s not customizable.
Microsoft essentially installed a shortcut to the Start Menu and called
it a button. This does nothing to fix the core issue of Windows 8. With
Windows 8, Microsoft dramatically changed how the user interacts with
the computer. The Start Menu replaced the Start Button — a full screen
menu replaced the task of a tiny application launcher. It is a step
backwards for productivity. To open a new application, the user has to
completely leave the workspace.
