== Changes from Windows 8.1 ==
* The start menu returned and replaced the start screen used in Windows 8 and 8.1. However, the menu looked like a combination between Windows Longhorn and the then-upcoming Windows 10.
* Internet Explorer was replaced with Spartan, which would be replaced by Edge in Build 1401.
* The ability to drag and drop items from or within the start menu and the list of recent files was removed. This persisted in Windows 10.
* The calendar popup window remained; however, the window was in the Windows 8.1 style instead of the Windows Vista style.
* Cortana was added.
* The default color was changed to dark grey. This change would, however, be undone in Windows 10.
* Shutdown sounds were readded because Microsoft had plans for a new OS family named "Windows Legacy", with Windows Vantablack being the first member. This change would, however, be undone in Windows 10.
