    something interesting i found earlier, looks like we will be getting windows 9 sooner than we think and thank god it looks like the old start menu has made a return. i for one hated windows 8 with a passion, i have it on my laptop and still hate it, anything that makes it a little bit more like windows 7 is okay in my books.

    I agree, only way to get me to 9 is add a Windows 7 theme and I don't ever want to see that ModernUI ever again plz.

    Agreed, Win7 nailed it straight off. Runs smooth as silk, responsive, clean layout. Why the hell are they fucking with it?

    Just a heads up for those unfortunate to be on Windows 8 (like me), there is a tool called Classic Shell which restores the Windows 7 style start menu, amongst other things. It is completely free and trustworthy, been using it for a few months now.

    As for Windows 9, not too sure what to say, I guess it's a step in the right direction.

    If you are one of the unlucky ones stuck with Win8 then I recommend "Start Is Back" at http://startisback.com/

    It does cost $3 USD but it really is the best start menu replicator out of the bunch. Pretty much mutes a lot of the Win8 garbage.
