    Do we know anything else about the start menu or was the build demo already the final take? What about app-groups and options like icon sizes, multi-row for classic layout etc.?

    ... and it will be much better for Microsoft if it will not offer such radical changes than Windows 8 :) They will just continue to correct the damage which has been made and readjust. Windows 8 was pretty "bold", I liked the idea when it came out

    Recent builds allow you to maximize the Start Menu to make it act like the Start Screen. You can also make it open in full screen by default (helpful for Surface Pro owners) if you wish. You can turn off (remove from the menu) live-tiles if you want and can just have desktop programs be displayed too.

    As long as I can remove the features I don't use including IE, Media Player, I will be happy.

    Anyway apart from Cortana I wonder if there will be any other new apps in windows 9, in the current windows 9 screenshots I've seen there doesn't look to be any new apps.

    Usually many apps get updated/released independently and along the major release. Has been the same with Windows 8.1. The question will be, which apps they are going to touch..

    I like the new start menu, it does have some very cool features, and I'm so glad that we can have a full screen start menu, I would raged at the top of my voice if that feature wasn't on the start menu! :p

    oh boy, you certainly never saw the amount of work to be done writing such software, no? lol ... it is really hard work to find the bugs and really fix the mess. After all it should work for the all of us
