Microsoft reportedly killing the back button in Windows Phone 8.1.
I'm not sure how many of you have used a "smartphone" but there is no FORWARD button in these things. WHICH SUCKS GOAT BALLZ. Now, these idiots at Microsoft want to remove the BACK button too!! Hahahaha, they are insane!!!
According to a new article by Paul Thurrott, a source has revealed Microsoft plans to get rid of the physical back button in Windows Phone 8.1, as users "don't realize what they're doing" when using the button multiple times. The button is also responsible for opening the multitasking screen in Windows Phone, with users holding the button down to see a series of tiles showing recent apps. Thurrott's source didn't say how the screen would be opened with the back button gone.
...as always, Microsoft seems to know best how their customers should use things, just like the wonderful
start screen!
...users "don't realize what they're doing"...

A bit like those "Metro Apps". No close buttons, no nothing. Just one giant prison cell! *lol* They seem to be hell-bent to destroy themselves.
