Windows 8.1 start buttons leaks, looks familiar

Windows 8.1 start buttons leaks, looks familiar

So yesterday we already posted some info on the return of the Start menu. We now have a screenshot available. Microsoft is expected to include a Start button with the Windows 8.1 update and now we have our first look at the new button and it looks quite familiar to those of you who use Windows 8. 

The button looks exactly like the charms bar Start button, which should come as little surprise, and is located exactly where you would expect it to be. 

While the button will be nothing more than a gateway to the Modern Start screen, it will likely appease many consumers who had trouble navigating the new platform. But if this does not function like the "Old Windows" start button then what is the point? All it will do is bring me back to the metro interface? How useless is that?

You have to admit, without a touch screen it's counter intuitive not having a start button.

I originally thought that 8.1 might be worth it, but I'm starting to think otherwise. Just give us what we want MS. Then you'll get what you want (our money).
