I am hoping Microsoft will come to their senses. I have seen many articles mentioning how new pc sales ( includes laptops ) have dropped significantly and one of the arguments ( along with the flood of tablets ) has to do with Windows 8 and the introduction of the tiles start up and unfamiliar desktop layout.. has soured many consumers.

I would not be surprised if Microsoft modifies SP1 to include booting directly to the desktop, I only hope that they take it to the next logical step and add the start button and program menu's back to the OS.

As a post script to my last post .. found this article on FoxNews.com today .. kinda sums it up for Windows 8.

Rick,

Some of us announced this. Anyhow I think Microsoft still can correct this, and deliver what users want :-)
