Do you own a system with Windows 8?  Do you wish you could get back that traditional Start Button from Windows XP/Vista/7?

Stardock’s Start8 tool restores a Start Button to the Windows 8 desktop, for just $5.

Longtime Windows users have criticized Microsoft for yanking the Start Button and forcing them to book to the new title-based Start screen rather than letting them opt for the traditional desktop interface.  Start8 drops users directly onto the traditional desktop.  It also adds configuration and personalization options, the ability to search in Control Panel apps, and support for pinning in Jump Lists.  Microsoft has blocked other Start button workarounds, but Stardock believes that it would be very difficult for Microsoft to do the same with Start8.  “The reason Microsoft can’t easily break us… is that those programs relied on a Registry switch to do it, which Microsoft removed,” says Stardock CEO Brad Wardell.  To get the app, click here.
