   For one, I did some reading and confirm that
   U may be right in that the traditional start menu may not be there.
   Could be that they may still bring it back, it's not finalized. My review really
   Keys on that this software should still be free and Start Menu 8 is.
   
   You shouldn't get so
   Overly excited about someone else's reviews. Please
   Understand that we are all entitled to our opinions.

   @-Lord-: MS is not bringing back the Start Menu, only the Start Button, which will simply switch you to the Start Screen... Get your facts straight before marking down programs!
   
   Start8 is the best of the bunch when it comes to Start Menu replaces for Windows 8. It took me all of a few minutes to decide to pay for it!

   Windows 8.1 update (forthcoming) will return the start menu to Windows and will also give the alternative to boot to desktop rather than metro.
   
   this should have been freeware to begin with, but now it's just going to be uselessware once the update is released.

   Its pretty sad when OSX and Linux look more like Windows than Windows.

   I am glad to see such a reputable company as Stardock step up to the plate, and do something about the end user experience of Windows 8 on Desktop computers, especially for mouse and keyboard users. Thank you Stardock.
