The next Windows 8.1 update might skip the Start screen by default

Microsoft already gave Windows 8 users the option to
boot their machines directly to the desktop, but a future
update could make the classic interface standard.
According to known leaker WZor, the latest Windows
8.1 test build skips over Microsoft's tiled interface by
default. Of course, those aren't the only changes --
WZor also posted screenshots showing that the OS'
power options (sleep, shut down and restart) have been
moved to the Start Screen, and modern UI apps now
feature a "minimize" option, lending credibility to
rumors that a future update would allow them to be run
from the desktop. So that's what they meant by business
friendly.
