Rumors are that they will keep the start screen option. But it is only a rumor..

Now that would be good. I could make use of that option.

I don't think it is or ever was an MS option, it was merely a hack somebody figured out, wasn't it?

I guess, but in order to be hacked, the function has to be there somehow.

The Start screeen

Reworked into a toggle button but still there.

The Charms menu

Reworked but still there (AFAIK tablets still get the Charms menu).

Corner-based navigation

Same as above.

Windows RT

Windows Mobile...

Full-screen Metro apps

Reworked into a toggle button but still there.

From SkyDrive to OneDrive

Renaming isn't exactly "tossed away".

That leaves 4 features that yet may still reappear at a later time

• The People hub
• Windows Media Center
• Share contracts
• The two-headed Internet Explorer

The Start Screen didn't get axed, it got somewhat neutered.

Media Center won't be a huge loss at all, Media Player should also leave as well but that would mean Xbox Music would have to stop sucking and we can't have that.

Share contracts are still not gone, Charms bar got removed.

It's like the author hasn't used Windows 8 nor 10...

Why are they killing WMC? I used it to watch tv.

There are a few other losses - e.g. the 'Check for updates' has disappeared from the Control Panel.

'Check for updates' is in Settings now, under Update & Recovery.
