All of a sudden, Microsoft is making a lot of the right moves | |

I didn’t expect to get excited about anything Microsoft announced at its Build conference on Wednesday, but the company more than exceeded my expectations with several announcements that show it’s going in the right direction. Let’s start with Start. Or more specifically, let’s start with Microsoft’s decision to at long last bring back the dearly departed Start menu with its first free update to Windows 8.1. This is obviously a great decision on Microsoft’s part since the lack of the Start menu was one of the biggest complaints that many desktop PC users had about Windows 8 and its return shows that Microsoft is listening to its customers. In doing this, Microsoft smartly ignored the Windows 8 cultists who sneeringly called everyone who missed the Start menu “stupid” or a “whiner” and realized that if a huge chunk of its customers are rejecting the changes it made with Windows 8 then it needed to change course. | ||
