Windows 8.2 is expected to restore full start menu function

The Windows system and the "Start" button can be said to be a point of integration, dating back to Microsoft's release of Window 8, at that time Microsoft believes it can abandon the "start" button, but the facts Prove that Microsoft is wrong, Windows users through the software feedback can not be separated from the "Start" button. As a result, Microsoft added the "Start" button on Windows 8.1, but it still failed to provide the familiar traditional "start" button experience, once again without the approval of the masses. However, it seems that the next generation of Windows 8.2 is expected to fully recover the "Start" menu function, unlike the Windows 8.1 pseudo-menu, it can provide a hierarchical directory for users to choose.

This is the news from Paul Thurrott, who is the moderator of "Superstie for Windows" and has a very wide network of contacts. According to rumors, this update system codenamed "Threshold", in addition to the traditional "start" menu return, will also provide a real desktop mode, breaking the full-screen Modern UI interface, you can on the desktop view on their own Run in the window.

Windows specialist Paul Thurrot said that Microsoft is planning to make improvements in several aspects of the new operating system. In addition to the start menu, the content includes the integration of the traditional Windows desktop mode and the Metro mode. Applications running in Metro mode can run in desktop mode as separate floating windows.

And Mary Jo Foley from ZDNet also said that the new Windows operating system with the traditional start menu button will come in the spring of 2015, and the new version of Windows will have a different platform than the current Windows/Windows RT/Windows Phone platform. Application classification. Foley said that PCs, tablets and phones will run the Modern version of Windows, while business users will use the traditional version of Windows.

However, from the current situation, the next generation of Windows will not be officially released before 2015, so it is better to care about the Windows Phone platform with slow progress. After the launch of Windows 8.1, it is reported that the latest Windows Phone 8.1 will also be launched in February next year.

If the rumor is true, then it once again shows Microsoft's emphasis on user feedback, just as before the release of Xbox One, Microsoft has been hoping that consumers will give advice in the future and tell them what they want to have. Game host. I hope that Microsoft's new CEO will continue to carry forward this tradition of customer first, which is best for us mass consumers.
