Yes, it looks encouraging that Windows9 will bring back the start menu. Looks like they may be officially announcing it on Sept. 30. However, it will probably be a year before it comes to consumers. Plus, it looks like it also has a very Modern UI look to it, so I hope I will be able to branch out and adapt.
I may end up looking for a Start9 or something......I know off the top of my head that it can change what the physical windows button press does. I have it set to go to the desktop when pressed. When I get home I'll check the rest of the settings and let you know.Thanks for the info. This looks very close, but it doesn't look like it gives you the ability to run your Modern apps in windows while remaining on the desktop OR the ability to tweak the physical Windows button on the SP3 to not take you to the Modern UI. That was just from looking at the info about it on the website. Maybe you can offer more info if it does indeed do these things? The start menu's themselves look almost the same though, which I really like. And, looks like it's only 2.99 to purchase if you enjoy the free trial, so that's super cheap. Thanks again for the info. It's great to give folks some options.
Keep the reply's coming if you have used any of the programs listed above or others to improve your Windows 8 experience.
