In a move to further distance the new operating system from it&#8217;s disastrous grandfather (Windows 8, because the father would have been Windows 9), the latest beta is missing the Charms Bar and the Start Screen.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nUnless you suffered through Windows 8, you probably don&#8217;t know what the Charms Bar was. It was a thing that slid in from the right edge of the screen. The Charms Bar featured five big icons as shortcuts for certain activities, many of which could be found elsewhere and often easier. Buh-bye.<\/p>\n<p>The second DOA feature is the Start Screen, which is odd because I thought it was gone anyway. I had configured Windows 8 to boot directly into the desktop. Now that&#8217;s apparently the default behavior for Windows 10 as well. Yeah!<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Microsoft will completely sober up and remove the tiles from the Start button menu. That would utterly purge all the Windows 8 visual blech from Windows 10. Any move in that direction is healthy, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.neowin.net\/news\/windows-10-the-charms-bar-is-dead-start-screen-dead-for-large-devices\" target=\"_blank\">Neowin<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neowin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wambooli-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7143"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7145,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7143\/revisions\/7145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wambooli.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
