JorgeA Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 That's weird -- my inbox has a message from MSFN saying that "franisblum6" had replied to this thread, but when I came here there was nothing from that person.Spam deleted by a mod?

UltimateSilence Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Here is a new tool:IObit StartMenu 8http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.phpWow, even IObit made a Start Menu program? Classic Shell's All Programs menu does not open in-place/inline like the 7 Start Menu, which is what Andre doesn't like, because it covers more of the screen. But we consider that an advantage, honest so it will never change.Nothing wrong with having the option. That way every user gets what they want..

cozinbob2 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 The reason I signed up here was about this thread, and today I bought Win-8 Pro. I wouldn't have made that buy if it wasn't for the good chance of applying the start menu to Win-8. I haven't installed it as of this post however.

'Send Feedback' and the sky crawling tallness of this menu are amazing.

Once you install Windows 8, let us know how things go with whichever Start Menu replacement you choose.--JorgeA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpclient Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Viva Start Menu and Win8 Start Button are based on Classic Shell (with no other differences I could tell other than different orb and defaults). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorgeA Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Viva Start Menu and Win8 Start Button are based on Classic Shell (with no other differences I could tell other than different orb and defaults).I'm looking into this.Viva Start Menu:I dunno, to me it looks different enough from Classic Shell:Which "Win8 Start Button" do you have in mind? The one that we have listed doesn't look anything like Classic Shell:If you found a different one with the same name, can you post the link?

Anyways, here's the EULA for Viva and here's the one for Win8 Start Button.I see in both of those EULAs, they are written by the same person! Why have competing products like that?
