Yes Eric, it's just the Windows Flag in a circular button according to the
BBC programme. No words in the icon

Sorry folks, forgot to mention MS were very proud that they removed
"Start"
from the Start icon. Apparently some folks were finding it confusing

that
to
shut down, one had to click Start.

They removed Start? What does it say now?
Maybe they should just have the Windows symbol there, and call the release
"Windows Purple" in honor of Prince.
Start was a stupid idea, but they put that in Win95 and stuck with it.

Why
change now?
It would have made more sense to use a word like Action.
I guess they desperately wanted to keep it to one syllable.
