Will Start8 Survive Windows 8.1 I Wonder?

from Stardock Forums

I hear rumours galore about Microsoft bringing back the Start button in 8.1, but as for the Start Menu, the jury seems to be out on that one so far.

I also heard a rumour that Microsoft have disabled a rival product StartIsBack in leaked builds.

You guys probably know more than I do regarding this and are well-prepared for all eventualities but any comments would be appreciated.

There should be a 1.17 update later today.  It was planned for Wednesday, but the person who has to press the buttons had to leave early.

The beta works perfectly on my surface pro and win8.1 preview, but anyway you can setup the nonbeta one like this:

- windows key: starts start8 menu

- And then to go to metro start menu simply swipe from the right and press the windows icon.

I am really happy with the start8 and I see that with windows8.1 I'll continue be happy with it ;)

Really good software from stardock!
