Showcase of Windows 9 Start Menu Operation Video illustrating how to use the Start Menu on Windows 9.
A video has appeared highlighting the features of the Start menu in Windows 9, an internal version slated for release around September 30th. The demonstration impressed me with its horizontal expansion of the menu as tiles are added and the inclusion of traditional program shortcuts. At the top, your username and power icon appear. Tapping the username lets you sign out or change your user profile, while the power icon offers shutdown, restart, and sleep settings. Notably, you can still navigate between the Start menu and the full Start screen, similar to Windows 8. Source: http://www.wpcentral.com/video-shows-sta...um=twitter
The metro interface on the right seems confusing at first glance.
It seems this interface is designed for users unfamiliar with technology. I might need to add features to resemble Windows 7’s Start Menu if that isn’t already available. I don’t plan to use apps since I believe they aren’t necessary; I favor programs that cater to advanced users.
I imagine there should be a way to eliminate the metro interface entirely from the start menu. That would make it cleaner. While I don’t dislike the metro design, it can be quite distracting for some users.
Consider updating the Microsoft desktop for a fresh approach. Move beyond tweaking the Start Menu and introduce genuine innovation.
If the system isn't cloud-based, I could consider starting Windows 7, Linux, and Steam OS in a triple or quad setup at some point. I'm curious whether it would still be challenging to run Linux alongside the main OS, similar to what happens with Windows 8.
