So Microsoft added the start button back to Win 8.1.

Great, eh?

Except they didn't add the start MENU, just a button that pops up the bull$hit metro full screen menu.

That was all it took. Our company got a glimpse of that this morning and now the policy is no win 8.x on desktops. Win 7 is the latest (and hopefully last) windows OS allowed.

WTF is with Microsoft? Did they actually think faking a start button would fix the damage they already did to Windows 8?

Speaking to the TS folks at our largest railroad client this morning confirmed they will not allow Win 8 in their organization as well.

Another big 'feature' is that with sufficient screen real estate you might be able to have 2, 3, even 4 apps onscreen at once. Gee - the next upgrade should feature a full screen command prompt and 80x24 character screen res.
