New Start menu leaks in Windows build 9788

4.4
Well, it looks like the leaks are starting to flow - or else someone has decided to spend an unhealthy amount of time building an elaborate Start menu replica. As you can see in the image above, the Start menu is there but it's not all that exciting as we have seen most of this before.

We do know that this is still an early build of next generation of Windows and we will have more to report on that tomorrow. So, don't get too caught up in the minor details as there will be other enhancements to the desktop before Threshold is released.

One item about the image that was throwing off users previously is that is says Win 8.1 Pro in the bottom corner. We have spoken to a source close to Microsoft who says that this image appears to be legitimate, and that these builds inside of Microsoft still use this branding, so this is not a big deal.

This build 9788 is said to be floating around the web but has not been properly leaked for all of us to enjoy. Considering that the images are starting to surface at various points across the web, the build will likely leak in the near future.

I like the Windows 8.1 start menu better than Windows 7's, and I use a non-touchscreen laptop. It's quite simple really, just delete all the metro (touch) apps and pin the desktop apps to the start menu. Done.

The actual tiles themselves are easy to navigate with a mouse, or with a trackpad.

Most people complaining haven't even used Windows 8 and are just jumping on the bandwagon.

Is that all people are concerned with is the start menu?

Polygon Not a big fan of windows 8 at all.
I guess the flat UI etc. is becoming more popular though.


I LOVE Windows 8, but for laptops and tablets more so than for desktops.

However, as for the flat design, I enjoy that. I actually did an iPhone theme in flat with one of my friends!

OklahomaCityThunder Great I just bought one windows 8.1 for my new PC that is arriving tomorrow... Does anyone think they will let me upgrade for free?


No, they are no longer supporting windows 8 because they finally realized that it was a waste of time and money, as them there selves even said.


Windows 7 Is loosing support, 8 dosent loose support until 2017


You're all idiots, Windows XP JUST lost support, Windows 7 will be supported until at least 2020 and Windows 8, 2025 at the least.


Pretty much this post says it all.
