If you caught our overview (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/30/microsoft-windows-8-1-unveiled/) of what's coming in the next version, there isn't anything in the clip you won't know already -- in fact, the (sort of) return of the Start button isn't discussed at all, although it does briefly pop up on the screen of the Surface Pro (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/microsoft-surface-pro-review/) used in the demo. You've been reading about it and inspecting screengrabs, but if an official video talkthrough is what you've been hankering for, there's four and a half minutes of just that waiting for you after the break.
