Start Menu to Return in “Threshold”?

Might have a start menu and apps in windows

from JoeUser Forums

 

“Threshold” is rumored to be the next in the coming waves of Windows updates…especially since “W8" and “Blue” were welcomed less than enthusiastically.

This upcoming version is rumored – rumored  to have a functional Start Menu, although no one can really verify this. Logically, it would seem to be the smart thing to do…something like Start 8 would be a true blessing.

There are also those who believe it will have ModernMix’s app in a window functionality for users of Windows.Next. Mary Jo Foley who has blogged (ZDNet, c|net, etc.) on MS for…well, forever believes this update will be coming in the spring of 2015 (which in Microsoftese means summer or later). The rumor also has it that the OS will be cross platform (XBox One, phones, tablets, laptops and desktops) – no surprise there.

There will also be a spring “Update 1” to Windows 8.1 in spring, 2014…with the Windows Phone 8.1.

Also rumored to be in that update is a unified set of dev tools and a single unified app store.

So, MS could surprise us yet in a retreat from “full blown” W8/W8.1. That retreat would definitely help a sluggish PC market and help get W8/8.1/Threshold into the home and workplace.

Thanks fellas, it's good to be back after an extended absence.  It may have been self-imposed, but it was necessary, however.  I was suffering with a bit of depression and needed time to sort some things out.... and in the process I got some long awaited chores done, so it was quite productive in the end.

Yup, I feel like a new man... and Shaunna says she'll bring me one home if she can find one willing. :-"

I have a dual boot of win 7 and win 8.1 preview.......I still prefer 7...... but must admit that blue screens are less likely on 8 or 8.1.....my biggest issue with 8 or 8.1 is getting rid of aero glass which should have been left as a option.........
