Win 8 Update coming. Start Button Back.

Actually, the article talks about 2 different updates. There is one coming this weekend but won't have the start button implemented then. That is some time in the future.

Read the whole thing for the whole story. It's short.

That might finally be enough for me to consider 8 in the future...but probably not, out of spite.

Start button has been there since last year - the start menu is the thing that was going to be changed. I am not really sure when, I thought it was going to wait for the next major release. But it sounds like that might not be the case anymore.

Another feature of Windows 8.1 that may grow to be more useful in the future is a native NVMe driver.

Is that aimed at solid-state storage chips built onto the mainboard or something? Phones, tablets and the like? I've seen PCI-E SSD cards for ATX machines before (usually hilariously expensive) but didn't get the impression they were becoming any more common.

They probably will become more common because SATA-Express is really just PCIe over a pair of SATA cables, so literally all the better SSDs are going to be PCIe in the near future.
