Windows 8.1 May Restore Boot-To-Desktop, Start Button

"According to media reports about leaked Windows 8.1 code, the next incarnation of Microsoft's flagship operating system will havean option to boot directly to the desktop. People have discovered 'references to a "CanSuppressStartScreen" option in early builds of the Windows 8.1 registry.' There is also speculation that Microsoft will be re-implementing the Start button, though the claims come from nebulous 'sources,' rather than the leaked code. In light of recent reporting about the general distaste and design flaws of Windows 8's user interface, will Microsoft's updates be dynamic enough to stop the current Windows exodus?"
