If you haven't heard already, Microsoft plans on bringing back the Start menu in the upcoming Windows Threshold update - which could possibly be Windows 8.2 or Windows 9 – but I digress. On top of the Start menu return, we will also see the ability to run Metro/Modern apps on the desktop – similar to a “windowed” application.
Now, this begs the question. Why is Microsoft electing to bring back these two core features which have been a part of Windows since prior to Windows 8? Is it because Windows 8 was a flop and Microsoft recognized they needed to go back to their roots, or is it due to consumer feedback and the ideology of further blurring the line between mouse/keyboard and touch? I believe its the latter.
