Bring Back Start Menu On Windows 8 with START MENU 8

Windows 8, along with Surface RT, is the biggest and most riskiest yet ambitious product Microsoft has ever worked on since the original Xbox over ten years ago. On the face of it, the company has significantly changed the way users use Windows , with a user-interface that is targeted more towards touch input on tablets rather than your traditional mouse and touchpad.
The Start button has been a part of Windows since the mid 90s, so removing it after all these years is bound to cause confusion and invite negative criticism from loyal users.
Well, I’m here to tell you that it isn’t that bad. As a matter of fact, after using Windows 8 since the RTM leak, if I were given the option to choose between the Start menu of Windows 7 or the Start screen on Windows 8, I’d opt for the new Windows 8 Start Screen. Here’s why:

  • it’s dynamic, smooth as butter,
  • looks amazing,
  • works well (with the right input device) and
  • has potential to do something even more revolutionary with future updates.

Despite That…

Some users aren’t really ready to adopt the change. They’ll still move their mouse into the left bottom corner to bring back the good old Windows 7 Startup Menu. Now here’s my post is to bring back the old Start menu on Windows 8.

There are lots of 3rd party applications are popping up to bring back the old Start Menu on Windows 8. The most early of this batch is probably Stardock’s Start8. It was good when it was first released. However, they made the software PAID for a while. So I’m not recommending to use it.
