A little earlier, we reported on the test build of Windows Blue under number 9364, which, according to preliminary data, debuts under the commercial name Windows 8.1. Currently, the source codes of the system libraries of the assembly have managed to detect a rather interesting string twinui-CanSuppressStartScreen, which implies the ability to disable the Metro interface and return the Start button.
The phrase CanSuppressStartScreen Windows 8 literally translates as "suppressing the start screen." Since the release of Windows 8, users have been looking for ways to return to the classic desktop and the Start button, resorting to third-party applications such as Start8 and Pokki. The number of downloads since the release of Windows 8 is already measured by several millions. Perhaps Microsoft has decided to listen to users who have long tearfully asked to implement the ability to go to the desktop interface with the Start button.
It turns out that the software giant has always known that ordinary PC users are negatively disposed towards the Metro interface. During testing, the beta version of Windows 8 in Redmond made it clear that the company was working on the new interface for hours to make it as convenient as possible for everyone. However, despite the negative reviews, Microsoft did not change its decision, "killing" the Start button along with the usual desktop. There is an opinion that the software giant simply had no other way out. Redmond had to introduce Windows XP, Vista and 7 users to the Metro interface in every possible way. Microsoft knew, giving users a choice, the Metro interface would “die” at lightning speed, and with it Microsoft’s hope for a bright future among mobile operating systems such as Android and iOS would die.
