A look at the evolution of the Windows 8 Start screen

Windows 8 is widely regarded as a flop, but only because of the Start screen and how it was so different from what Windows users knew of the OS. Let's take a look back and see how things turned out how they did during the days of Windows 8.

The Windows 8 Start screen was the biggest change to Windows since Windows 95, and that was a big deal at the time. The Start screen was a brand new experience and design for Windows that put Microsoft's OS above all other touch-based OS experiences. Unfortunately, the Start screen was not a popular addition among Windows users, and as such made Windows 8 a flop for Microsoft.
