The bad news: the Start Screen isn’t going anywhere in the next version of Windows. The good news: it will be much, much better.
WinBeta reports that Microsoft’s next operating system codenamed Threshold, will include an updated Modern/Metro user interface when it launches in 2015. Here’s what it will reportedly get:
No more desktop on Windows tablets to prevent the constant Desktop-Metro jarring.
An honest-to-goodness real, live Start menu on the desktop (yay!).
Interactive live tiles on the Start Screen, which means you won’t have to open an entire app just to look something up.
A much-needed Notification Center.
A Cortana live tile.
Interesting.
