For Windows 8 Users, Stardock Revives the Start Menu

jones_supa writes "By reinventing the Start Menu in Windows 8, Microsoft has caused some resistance to the new Start Screen. For those longing for the classic way of doing things, Stardock comes to rescue. The Start8 is a piece of software which replicates the functionality of the button and menu found in previous versions of Windows. Supported is starting applications, the Run and Shutdown features, and search."

    It's not random. Don't confuse you being ignorant with the start menu being random.

    There is a logical way it works. If you made half the effort in learning why it does things that you do showing of your ignorance, you would have nothing to complain about...but maybe that's your point. Maybe you're just a whiny bitch.

    Windows 7, I didn't really appreciate how bad it was until I started using it. Solution 'Welcome to Classic Shell' http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/. All that fucking hassle just to browse the net and play a bunch of games, I'll bet you see a windows 8 version before long. M$ seems to go out of it way to be annoying.

    All of it aimed at forcing xbox style licensing on windows.

    As for having 'USED' anything, has any told you to politely fuck off lately. Never forget the underlying reality, 'My computer and I will use and interact with it they way I prefer too', I will not be a company bug tester, I will not change use to suit their ulterior motives, no choice then the company can fuck off, not the user has to suck it up.
