windows 8 start menu is back

Time for me to eat my hat, they just showed and announced start menu is back with live tile integration. Wasn't clear if this was part if 8.11 or a future update, I'm guessing future as it wasn't in with the 8.11 update segment of Build2014.
And metro apps in windows.

metro apps in windows is old news and i think it's in update1. i am surprised about the start menu though. i guess people grumbling incessantly can make a difference.

Doesn't look like it, just watched the update1 overview and when he launches metro apps from taskbar there's only a minimize and a close button

One would hope most businesses are already running 7 seeing as XP will be unsupported in just a few days time!

You would have thought so, but nope.

74% still on XP.

Even important things like ATMs are still XP.

Yes it's been confirmed, again it was shown off in the build 2014 keynote 1.
And later.

I bet he's saying it's not 8 as it's 8.1,

If you can't find the print, when its now the same for all software, charms > devices > print. Then you have issues.
Metro has simplified every program that is programmed it, by having a set menu, rather than one which changes between each program.
