False Start Award: Windows 8

After Microsoft released a preview of the highly anticipated Windows 8, users were dismayed to find that, although the new system's desktop was practically identical to the Windows 7 interface, it lacked a Start menu.

在微软公司发布大家寄予厚望的Windows8预览版后，用户们吃惊地发现，尽管新系统的桌面与W indows 7的桌面并无两样，但缺少“开始”菜单。微软用“开始”屏幕的快捷方式取代了“开始”菜单，这意味着用户要被迫离开桌面，以启动这一能将他们带回桌面的应用程序。
