    Here's another link that shows with pictures how to get the start button (orb) back in Win8. Better explanation I think than the above link. http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-good-old-start-button-orb-and-start-menu-in-windows-8/

    Though, when windows 95 came out I hated the new explorer shell. I preferred the old program manager. Luckily you could still launch it via progman.

    Right now I'm more focused on win 8 server, which I love. I plan on delving into windows 8 customer preview more soon.

    Hi all

    I have been testing a few of these Start menus out this week and TBH and really honest they do nothing that Windows 8 doesnt do already in that the screenshots for Start8 from Stardock is that they take the app from Metro UI and click the right hand corner and choose Search, thats the same listing as these start menus.

    NOW if MSFT give us the option of a Start Search App Tile for Metro and Windows Desktop then all is solved.

    But I tested these apps out rigoursly and its no different to what W8 offers allready, albiet in a slightly easier form as in a start button orb, but try getting back to Metro easily from them?
