    I added Calmira to Windows 3.1 so I could have a start button like Windows 95.

    I don't understand what the big deal is about having or not having a start button.
    All it does is expand a menu. Metro is the menu in 8.
    8 has a convienent shutdown or restart icon.
    Run is easily available.
    Dos has no start button.
    Whats the big deal? Who cares about a start button.
    It is irrevalant and obsolete.
    Change is inevitable and now is the time.
    Forget about and think about continue

    Anyone try the Start8 software?

    Not exactly pleased about them requesting email address.
    Cheers.

    Start8 is free of charge, except that you have to let them spam you for their paid software.

    Classic Shell runs on Win8 also. Spamless, AFAIK.

    That's typical Microsoft stupidity.
