Best W8 startup menu option.

I just got my new laptop. I hate metro.

What are the best alternatives?

I've used most of em, but this one by far is the best.

Buying a 'start button'. Sorry that just makes me laugh.

Classic Shell works well and it is free.

Hmm.. That has their own logo as opposed to the original Windows one, the other one is only $2 so just that alone is worth $2 to me :laugh2:

Windows 7.

it's not bad once you get use to it. i have windows 8 on my desktop and it's actually been extremely reliable and more effiecent then windows 7 and older.

ive actually really grown to like the new desktop and how its ran.

i recommend just giving it a try and get accustomed to using the windows key a bit more and if you still don't like it get one of those shell desktops.

my pc boots in 3 seconds flat, granted i have an SSD but even on windows 7 my pc never booted that fast.

Yup, it's a damn shame. There's no reason why it shouldn't be optional in Windows 8. ...leave it to Microsoft.
