New Windows 8.1 Start menu details

Users of Windows 8.1 will partly get the old Windows 7 start menu functionality back. Next to that it will also be possible to skip the Metro start up screen during boot. Hot corners will be able to get disabled as well. Microsoft just released Windows Server 2012 R2 which ahs the very same options already.

A new screenshot of that server-build has been placed online that shows the new functionality which in the end will find its way into Windows 8.1, have a peek.

These changes will be the final response after all the critique that Microsoft received with Windows 8.

The link was down at the time of my post. Maybe mediafire was having a general issue. Oh well, thanks!
