Microsoft has made available the Windows 10 Developer preview version, which is the upcoming version of Windows. Although the final build will be available only in 2015, the developer preview does have lots of new features and changes to existing ones. One of the main new feature is the new Start Menu which is a combination of the start menu on Windows 7 and the start screen on Windows 8. So you have the traditional icons like what you had on Windows 7 and it also can include the metro UI style tiles found on the Windows 8 start screen.
