The 8.1 start menu is nothing like a normal one. Thanks to start is back my win 8.1 works in exactly the same way as win 7. If a normal start menu wasn't available and I had to boot to metro, or even see metro at times, I wouldn't be using Win 8. * +

8.1 has come a long way since the original 8. This time around im not even using start is back and i like it in some weird way if you set the same wallpaper to the modern start it makes the transition smooth and enjoyable. All the new stuff added to the menu like power button, taskbar jumping in and an x to close apps and _ to minimize them etc. The overall feel of the os is fast and fluid i really got used to it. And right clicking on the startbutton brings up most of the stuff normally in a start menu as a list anyway. * +

at least the 8.1 update gives you a start menu of a sort, even if its not as functional as in win 7. The 8.2 update is supposed to correct that, but that remains to be seen. * +

its faster and more secure than windows 7, but not as user friendly for desktop users, or those with non touch screen computers hence why its user base remains lower than windows 7 and even windows xp. This why microsoft have brought forward the release of windows 9. Touch screen computers still represent a small percentage of the market after all. * +
