Previous rumors have hinted that these features will be part of Windows 9.
And while it is possible that such a change might only be reserved for the next full version of the operating system, it makes more sense to release these features to users as part of a second major update to Windows 8.1.
But before we get to that part, take over the comment box and let your thoughts be known. Excited for this return of the classic feature? Bet you are!
