Microsoft announces Lists, a new Airtable-like app
>> Windows incrementally removed the "Start" button and had to roll back.
I mean, flat out removing something, by definition, is not incremental.

They should've shrunk the button down each release. For any features I plan to remove I'll gradually make them smaller.

If you can’t remove elements, you can’t refine design incrementally.

The corner still worked as a start menu, and they told you that on first run. It was as incremental as possible.

"They told you it was there" from a UX perspective is about as good as it not being there.

Didn’t they keep the “start” button but change the menu to the full screen Win8 version until they brought back the menu for Win10?

I don't remember how it happened as I had moved off of Windows in that period, maybe they made it slowly opaque over a couple releases.
