Has anyone tried the Start Menu replacement from Stardock [1]? I don't have Windows 8, but this is such a frequent complaint and I'm wondering if their version will be a good enough fix.
(I have no affliation with Stardock)

- vondur 14y agoI purchased it. Once you install it, you wont see Metro apps at all unless you launch them on purpose. You can also get Classic Shell, which is an open source start menu repalcement. http://classicshell.sourceforge.net http://classicshell.sourceforge.net
- w1ntermute 14y agoJust tried it out, seems like it works fine. It brings back all the Windows 7 start menu functionality.
- Aeons 14y agoI have tried it and also Classic Shell which is mentioned in another comment. Both work pretty well, however I prefer Classic Shell due to better configurability. Not sure if Start8 has been updated since I tried it though.
