A screenshot has surfaced on the web via the My Digital Life forums showing what appears to be a very early build of the Windows 9 start menu. To facilitate both tablet and desktop users, they’ve essentially combined that of the Windows 7 start menu and Windows 8 tile interface to bring the best of both worlds.
"The Halo inspired personal assistant is already available to Windows Phone so I guess Microsoft decided that a desktop version will also be pretty neat. Can’t really argue with that."
This is going to be so badass. Finally Microsoft is making another good version of Windows.
Seems Windows is getting back to the stage with priority to better user experience, whole bunch of changes are coming, so Window 8 is the new Vista, it was not a complete flop though!
Windows 9 is expected to come equipped with Storage Sense, a feature that allows users to better managed their storage.
I just hope that MS would allow the Windows 9 users to choose between the Tile Metro and the familiar desktop UI so that the PC gamers that don't wanna use the animated Tile will still able to enjoy this OS.
As we all know MS has been slammed numerous times due to their decision in making Win8 as a touch panel friendly Os, rather than keeping the traditional UI.. I hope that they've learned their lesson now, so that majority of Windows 7 users will jump ship to 9.
Just earlier today, Winfuture.de posted screenshots of Windows 9, revealing many photos of Microsoft’s new flagship operating system. They have just added a video which shows the start menu and start screen in action.
I was a huge fan of Windows 8, but I later found out the Metro suddenly become obsolete.
I think I have to agree with Tim Cook " Our competition is different. They’re confused. They chased after netbooks, now they’re trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs. Who knows that they’ll do next? I can’t answer that question, but I can tell you that we’re focused."
I do hope Microsoft get their act together with Win 9
Windows 9 better be a free update for windows 8 users or I'm through with windows,
I never "upgraded" to Windows 8, I've had Windows 7 since the beginning and it's great. I didn't like the Metro style for Windows.
W9 does look like an improvement and I would consider upgrading to it if they stick to this design.
I'm sure MS announced this start menu will be in Windows 8 in an update in August, think it's too early for Windows 9.
God, everybody is so slow.
They already announced this as a windows 8.1 update months ago

Honestly, I dont like this design. The right side should have been the left because the left has a huge recents list that most of the time doesnt have the apps I use fequently and pinned apps above it which is supposed to be the right side. I need the windows 7 start right side for the folders(user,music,video,pictu res,download, control panel).
I posted a better design here
