    Those of you who have installed a Start Button for Win8, which one are you using?

    I was using Classic Shell for awhile, I had some trouble with the right-click context menu and am looking for for an alternative.

    Thanks,

    Start8 - perfect & only $4.99 from Stardock.

    Thanks, I'll give it a try. There's so many of them now, don't have time to try them all. :)

    Hi Dereks. For me I would go with StartIsBack. Its cheaper than Start8 at only $3.00 and you get two licenses instead of one.

    The one that I posted it FREE. That is a lot cheaper than $3.00. :D

    Yeah but it doesn't include as many features as StartIsBack, plus it isn't as refined either. In this case its worth it to pay for StartIsBack or Start8 as you get a lot more functionality and both programs are constantly getting new features and bug fixes to make them even better.

    I found Start8 is the best for me:) Reasonable price and low on resources.

    IObit's Start Menu replacement is called Start Menu 8. I point this out because Start 8 is Stardock's product.
