A few more bits on the about-face of Microsoft. Looks like the Start button will be back, but it will be next to useless as all it'll do is bring you to the Start screen; it will be totally crippled, so good news for Classic Shell and other start button replacements.

Microsoft is preparing to revive the traditional Start button it killed with Windows 8. Sources familiar with Microsoft's plans have revealed to The Verge that Windows 8.1 will include the return of the Start button. We understand that the button will act as a method to simply access the Start Screen, and will not include the traditional Start Menu.

We will also have, apparently, a boot to desktop option.
