Windows 9 in 2015: Desperation isn't pretty

People are upset that they have to tap the "Windows" button instead of clicking the start menu button. Nevermind that Microsoft added the start button back in 8.1

IMO it's an almost absurdly trivial issue contrasted against holistic moderate improvements across the rest of the OS. Maybe a learning case-study on how narrow, particular elements of user experience & perception can turn against you...

There was always a Start button in Win8.0, which was demonstrated during the initial welcome screens. Hold your mouse in the upper-right corner to open the Charms menu, then click the start button there. (Edited for clarity)

Now I can't remember if the lower-left-corner-hover was present in Win8.0. I know there was always the button in the system menu (right edge swipe).

(I'm pretty sure the link you provide has been updated for Win8.1)

Here's a better link from late 2012 http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57534694-285/how-to-retu... Seems it was always there.
