No Microsoft start menu for Windows 8 until 2015: sources

[Kent Sharkey]

ZDNet[^]:

It's looking like Microsoft's new 'mini' Start Menu for Windows 8.x won't be part of Windows 8.1 Update 2 as rumored. Instead, it's sounding like a 2015 deliverable now.

Did they lose the code for the old one or something?

No, of course not. They just don't know how to untangle Clippy from the Start Menu code.

Looks like you were trying to press the start button. Would you like me to: _ Downgrade to Windows 7 _ Add a start menu to Windows 8 _ Go away.
