Look,lets not cry before we are hurt. Remember when Windows 8 Consumer Preview came out,a lot of start menu software did not work .Neither did Classic Shell until it was updated to work with Windows 8 CP. Now we have Start menu 7, Vista Start menu and other software working in Windows 8 CP. And now there has been some new software made. And there is now a Ribbon Disabler from Win Aero to boot. When Windows 8 RP is released the Windows start menu will be very much in demand.and the makers of Classic Shell and other start menu software will not want to loose business. So they will want to update their software to work with the new Windows 8. As one day everyone will have to upgrade to the latest version of Windows when Windows 7 is no longer supported or you cannot buy Windows 7 any more. I myself have got the Windows XP start button and start menu on my desktop on Windows 8 CP. The Metro start menu still runs in the background.But I hardly ever use it,using the Windows XP start menu instead.It's not that i cannot use the Metro start menu,I can now. But I prefer to access the start menu directly from my desktop rather than the start screen. and also the Windows XP or windows 7 start menu is more customisable and familiar to me. as it is to most people. I also think we should wait a week or two before installing Windows 8 RP. As then we can get familiar with it by reading tutorials on the web on how to use it. For example I did not know when I first installed Windows 8 CP,that I had to swipe the start screen, not click it, to log in. But I know now from reading the tutorials on the web.There may be some other changes in Windows 8 RP which we will have to learn. So it is a good idea to wait a week or so and read up and learn about it first. Then when we install Windows RP,at least we will know what to expect. Andrea Borman.
