I’m not sure that effect holds true in these kind of markets – everyone knows these devices, like phones, will be on regular update cycles. if you wait for the new one that’s just round the corner, you’d NEVER buy one.
If you don’t want the start menu, what’s good about adding the start button back? it’s just another way of doing what you can already do right now in three different ways (four if you include alt-tabbing)
This is a misleading article – it’s hardly ‘bring it back’ if it does something completely different.
All they are going is giving you another link (just like the one in the charms bar, or the logo printed below the screen) to dump you to the Metro screen.
It’s not even close to what the old Start button did.
