Windows 8.1 Will Bring Back The Start Button

Microsoft will resurrect the Start button in Windows 8.1 (Blue), which is due to be released later this year. This follows last week’s news that Windows 8.1 will let you to skip the Start screen after logging in, allowing you to boot straight to the Desktop.
This news comes from The Verge, which cites the usual “sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans.”
Don’t get too excited, though: As it stands, the resurrected Start button will still open the new, tile-based Metro Start screen.
