"Alright, let's do this just once: here's how to get a semblance of a Start Menu back in Windows 8, if you are someone who prefers to look backwards from a UI perspective:\r\n\r\n\tFire up your Windows 8 device.\r\n\tHead to this link.\r\n\tDrop in your email address.\r\n\tHit go, initiate download.\r\n\tInstall, which will take just a moment, and boom, you are all set.\r\n\r\nAnd yes, I know that those directions are more than a touch pedantic. My coffee is wearing off, and along with it my good mood. Here's what the start menu looks like in use:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nNow, why should you use this? You shouldn't. What Stardock, a company that I have a great deal of affection for, has put together is essentially a rehash of the Charms Bar and the new Start Screen, just shmushed and moved to a different part of the screen. That this effort lacks is interesting, as it underscores something that I hadn't known: I very much like the new Windows 8 UI.\r\n\r\nI went into this post, testing the app, expecting to love it. I installed it, and when I found out that it was simply the Windows 8 UI, 'chopped and screwed,' to fit an old paradigm I sighed a bit. I think that we are all going to have to realize that Microsoft is taking us down a new user interface and user experience road, and that we have little choice in the matter.\r\n\r\nHappily, the Metro UI and Windows 8 design changes have been generally liked. This is something good, as billions of people are going to use them. Imagine if they were painfully bad. RIP Start Menu, I almost miss you."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
