So long as people continue to use Windows it will not change. You're not telling them anything by that course of action other than "we like what you're doing".
Actually they went back to xp with windows 7. But I will argue that vista was not that far out of the cycle anyway. Windows 8, really is not windows.
Microsoft fired the only person that really pushed for the removal of the start menu. He had to bully the idea through the system and with him gone, there is no reason for them to bring it back.
Microsoft has sold 60 million copies of windows 8 to oem suppliers, retail store, and end users. But apps to return back the start menu, like pokki are insanely popular. In fact, pokki has been installed in more then 1.5 million windows 8 machines. When 1 in 60 of your total sales says you got it wrong, it is time to fix it.
