Microsoft bringing Start menu back in Windows 9 OS

Microsoft is finally bringing start menu in its next version of desktop operating system, Windows 9. It is a kind of hybrid start menu where features are taken from Windows 7 and Windows 8. It was certainly a much needed feature which I was waiting for since Windows 8 came. New start menu have features like miniature live tiles and has same size as that of Windows 7 start menu.

Windows 9 Beta Version Concept Released with an Upgraded Interface !

Windows 9 is clearly one of the most anticipated products ever released by Microsoft, pretty much because the future operating system is expected to bring several major changes to the Windows product family. 

While the concept clearly needs more refinements in order to look good, it does bring forth some interesting ideas. The Start button, for example, could be replaced with the word “Start” for a much more intuitive interface that reminds of Windows XP, while the taskbar could also hold shortcuts for Modern apps.
