"A major Windows 8.1 update is coming later this month, but neither of the new features will make it into that refresh. Instead it says they'll come as part of a "future update" of Windows later this year."

so MS is likely going to do another overhaul like "update 2" or even windows 8.2 with the menu

i hope it's toggleable i don't mind using the start screen at all i've actually come to like it better than the menu

i've stopped using the menu and the screen is ok

damn that's a sexy menu i'm gonna have to make up my mind

menu looks like shit but they're defenitely going to be improving it until it gets released

well the leftmost part is actually bretty gud its an eightification of seven's glorious start menu

the right needs work, particularly a user icon but i like the whole pinning thing it has going on there

i think they should entirely remove the left part and just have the tiles on the right when you open the menu, that'd be kool

that would make people flip even more shit than when the start button came out without a start menu

though the left is useless

here we gooooooooooo

TAKING FUCKING FOREVER

so its basically this



and this



how the fuck did this take 900 MBs?

#justmicrosoftthings

a few other noticable things is the app list the shutdown button and apps launch waaaay faster now

bloatware, probably
