Windows 8.1 May Restore Boot-To-Desktop, Start Button

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday April 16, 2013 @07:16AM from the back-by-popular-demand dept.

New submitter geekoid writes "According to media reports about leaked Windows 8.1 code, the next incarnation of Microsoft's flagship operating system will have an option to boot directly to the desktop. People have discovered 'references to a "CanSuppressStartScreen" option in early builds of the Windows 8.1 registry.' There is also speculation that Microsoft will be re-implementing the Start button, though the claims come from nebulous 'sources,' rather than the leaked code. In light of recent reporting about the general distaste and design flaws of Windows 8's user interface, will Microsoft's updates be dynamic enough to stop the current Windows exodus?"

A hint: Don't send out resumes in docx format unless you're trying to get a job as an MCSE. Use pdf.
A better hint: Read the resume submission guidelines for the job you are applying for. If they specify docx, then use docx.
