I know a lot of people need this - http://www.lee-soft.com/

Careful with the install - It tries tries to install a ToolBar and some scanner - Just click decline for both and all is ok.....

So many free software packages seem to do it now - You just have to be more careful when you install these days....

same here. Except for a few "must-have"s, I don't install anything.
If it's portable, I'll use it. If it comes in an installer, I won't.

That's my absolute fave piece of appalling UX with windows.

"How do you close down Windows?"

"Well, you go to the START menu..."

lol

ViStart is pretty popular.

I did install the StarDock menu for Windows 8 but didn't like it and removed it.

I barely see Metro anyway, and I've turned off all the crazy colors, so I'll probably just live with it if decide to upgrade.
