The most anticipated feature of Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 10, set for release on Wednesday, isn’t some new application. It’s the return of the traditional Start screen, which Microsoft ditched in August 2012, with Windows 8.

Apparently I am the only Windows 8 user that doesn’t miss the “Traditional Start Screen”. I’m hoping that Windows 10 has the option to turn it off. I’m New Coke all the way.
I use Windows 8 and it’s great. Just install Classic Shell (free download) and the start menu is back.
Windows 8 is fine for me. Mrs p6 took to it no problems. Heck I even like the charms bar.
We don’t have touchscreens on our Windows devices.
Both of us are eager to try Win10 and like you don’t want the original start menu!

It looks like there are three of you.

A group of tiles will float over the traditional screen. It will look like a Windows phone taped to the desk top. I, for one, am looking forward to it. I have two Windows phones and really like them.
No, you’re not the only one who doesn’t miss it. I love Windows 8 and Server 2012 and am very disappointed in Microsoft’s decision to make this change.
Besides, people are going to find something else to bitch about with the new OS. They ALWAYS do.
