Re: [WIN8] What software for getting start menu back?

Why "Start 8" over, say, "Classic Shell"? I am using the latter and I wondered what the former provides that the latter does not.

The differences are slight but Start8 is more like the real Microsoft start menu while ClassicShell has some differences that can be annoying if you really want the exact same start menu experience. Mind you, ClassicShell gives you some additional options to enhance your Windows experience so there's tradeoffs in both directions. Well, that and it's free.

Classic shell has both a programs AND an apps menu, does Start 8 do that, because I like that idea. I don't need exactly what I had with 7, more I just need something other than metro for when metro throws me for a loop, which is just about every day, sadly.
