Additional info from MS staff: -There will be a start button available via addon like WMC (IMHO: very good decision)
Could you please rename your thread title to "Windows Blue (Windows 8.1) will be available via Store for free"? I hope, it would be perfect
Source on the additional info? Extremely disappointing to see them disabling uxstyle core functionality, especially since the stock VS in Windows 8 looks like total ass.
"IMHO: very good decision" physically challenged ppl (in this case the inability to learn new things) should receive help. But seriously, OP, whats the origin of the extra info?
wait guys how the proof will be done. Genuine 8s certainly get no problem but I could see some dark clouds coming by when system is activated other than official. We'll see this coming fall ...
Geez, we have to go to a pl website to find halfquotes (and wrong info since they are talking about start MENU when clearly Mary Jo talked bout BUTTON) of a Mary Jo Foley article (in ENGLISH) posted 1 month ago? In any case, I ask again: from where comes this: "-There will be no start button" ?
hehe, it it isn't PL, study the map and I said the info came from article author I've between the contacts NOT from an article itself...
So, it is safe to say, since ur source is someone that seems to write articles (with mistakes) based on Foley's, that it is a rumour. Right? Don't get me wrong, I would be more than happy to know that they won't bring back the stupid start b u t t o n. But there is no official words from MS about it.
Yes, that's the source of the thread title. However, as u can see, we were asking about the source of the extra bits in the original post that are not mentioned by LeBlanc on that winodws blog.
I just posted, what I've heard from the person, who I know and trust... ...when I got the question about the source, I revealed it. ...if it isn't good enough for you, just hit the back button in your browser instead leaving stupid comments here. ) Of course nobody can be sure about anything...
Well, u claimed to be from MS Staff, and it is not. I hope u underrstand there is a difference between something that ur BFF told u and something that one of the 2 Windows heads said in a conference and is posted in the windows official blog.
You obviously don't know who Mary Jo Foley is. She is long time Microsoft reporter of over 25 years with tight M$ strings. She would not publish something of this magnitude if it were not true.
