A List Of Start Menu Replacements for Windows 8

Recommended Posts

I'm currently testing out Start8, doesn't seem that bad. I'll probably end up testing some others before I decide on one specific one. I am currently dual-booting my system between Win7 & Win8.

I am using Start8 on my Win8 in VMware. Running well.

Thanks for the list. I've tried a couple but doesn't seem to me to be much difference between them.

Are there any that add bells and whistles, ie do other things also, instead of just a W7 copy start menu?

It's a big list to go trying all of them out :lol:

Anyone fancy starting a poll for favourites? :P

All three start menus listed on frontapage are good. While two of them being very similar to W7 start menu, they offer a lot more options. Pokki, on the other hand, is even advanced but cluttered one. ;)

Anyone tested other Start Menu programs on 7?

I think Start8 had refused to start (the installation) on Windows 7. No idea about SIB.

In a Microsoft default OS, I've found that the Windows Updates shortcut does not allow one to pin it to Start Menu - have been dragging-n-dropping it into StartIsBack, without complaints.
