The Start Button May Make A Comeback In Windows 8.1

        According to The Verge, the start button may return in an upcoming iteration of Microsoft's touch-based home computer operating system, Windows 8. Unfortunately, the source also claims that the new start button will only act as a shortcut that will (more familiarly) access the Windows 8 "metro" styled interface.
        
        Windows 8.1 has been in the talks since earlier this month, although the actual features it will bring to the table are currently unknown other than rumors such as a boot-to-desktop feature which will bypass your mobile-styled app screen for a more familiar desktop screen your computer eyes are so accustomed to. 

        Windows 8.1 is rumored to release in June, with its announcement to be held at Microsoft's Build conference which takes place from June 26th until June 28th, 2013.
        
        Do you support Microsoft's changes to their desktop operating system? Does it matter? Let us know in the comments below.*
