It's been over four months since Microsoft launched Windows 8, and the evidence is growing that the newest version of the company's operating system
is not gaining as many users as previous Windows versions. So what can Microsoft do to solve that problem?
Bob O'Donnell, an analyst for research firm IDC, says the firm's research has shown two things about people who have used Windows 8. One is they miss the Start menu in desktop mode, something
which we have pointed out in the past. The other thing they miss is the ability to boot Windows 8 in desktop mode, bypassing the touchscreen oriented Start screen.
