Microsoft recently rolled out the new Windows 8.1 Preview, so users who can’t wait for the RTM version can now go over to the Store and download this early beta build.

This clip posted on YouTube by bavogames demonstrates all features available in the first Windows 8 makeover, including the Start screen customization options, the desktop, and the new Start button.

As you most likely heard by now, Windows 8.1 Preview is supposed to make the Windows 8 platform a bit more familiar, so the return of the Start button is not at all surprising.

Of course, the Preview is offered free of charge to all Windows 8 users and in addition to the Store update, the new release is also available as a stand-alone ISO that can be used to set up dual-boot configuration.
