totally useless function just to 'please' people half-heartedly...

+1. Start8 and others will continue to please the majority of windows8.x users 🙂

StartIsBack is all thats needed !

You have to admit, without a touch screen it's counter intuitive not having a start button.

I originally thought that 8.1 might be worth it, but I'm starting to think otherwise. Just give us what we want MS. Then you'll get what you want (our money).

I hope this doesn't *break* Start8 and the others....

..why would it matter? They wouldn't exactly be needed at that point ya know...

lol i haven't reistalled windows 7 for nearly a year and a half, that's the longest installation for me, usually it was around the 6 month mark.

Start Menu 8 is totally free from iobit and it rocks

Personally having that start button or not won't affect me since I'm already used to the Start Screen and have been using Windows 8 as intended lol.

.... because if you read a single paragraph you would have seen that the start button simply opens 'metro'.

I only use the start menu for searching for stuff anyway and I think the w8 start search is at least as good as w7 if not better.
Usually I launch programs by just pressing start and then type a few letters... enter and that's it.
I don't even see the start menu that often.

Because to be honest it doesn't bug me, I've been using Windows 8 for months without a start button. I got used to it. GASP!

Don't see the point in everyone going form Win 7 to Win 8, only to get that Start 8 and what not, just so they can turn it back into 7, should have just stuck with 7 in the first place.

How special, another 'I don't use the startmenu so everyone else shouldn't either, rather I want to suck the teet of a multinational corporation and needlessly defend them for whatever reason'.
As fine as that logic is, it's still a good question to ask if software like Start8 will still work since 8.1 does not do what it does (and if it does not, then I'm sure stardock will update it).
I think Windows 8 and now the Xbone makes it pretty evident MS is very out of touch with the populace.

Yup.
M$ are a large powerful company, with fingers in many pies for sure - and this is kinda the problem; how can a company so large and so powerful and so rich make so many mistakes?

Wuh eh wah?! start menu!?
Oh u mean press windows key, type stuff, let windows find the
process and then press enter for it to launch 🤓
Nah I won't care either.
Only thing I've done is pinned really frequently used stuff to the
Metro menu (stuff I used to have on my objectdock on W7).

I said I got used to it, I didn't say you should too. As far as Win 8 goes; Use it, or don't use it. It's as simple as that.
Cyberdyne
It's the context my friend, you were saying that you think it's pointless to use Startbutton programs on Windows 8 when you can just get used to metro.

Key emphasis on the "I" part.
