Microsoft teases a classic Start Menu for Windows 8.1 with built-in Live Tiles

by John_A

As a part of its Build 2014 announcements, Microsoft showed off an interesting twist on its classic Start Menu. Coming to Windows 8.1 in a future update, it has the look of the Start Menu Windows users have experienced for years, but adds the Live Tiles Microsoft has been pushing as a part of Windows 8 and Windows Phone. Terry Myerson made the announcement as part of an example of how universal Windows apps will be able to run in a window (and on Xbox), although users craving something familiar will probably just be happy to see their old Start Menu again. We didn’t hear any more details on exactly when to expect the update, but you can follow along with our liveblog for all of the information as it happens.
