After hearing a lot of consumer complaints about the lack of a Start Menu button on Windows 8 , Microsoft intends to bring this feature back to the 8.1 version released around October. This is also one of the biggest changes emphasized by the US software company in the new free upgrade.

However, nearly 2 months seems to be too long for Lenovo. The manufacturer today announced that all its Windows 8-based computers will install software called Pokki. The application was developed by SweetLabs, providing a menu to replace the traditional Start Menu button. New features will be available with English-speaking countries first.

SweetLabs currently distributes software through the official website with more than 3 million users. According to the company's calculations, every day customers open the software about 10 times. In addition, Pokki also has a separate software store, competing with Microsoft's Windows Store.
