No surprise its getting attention, cool app, the actual user experience with Windows 8 is really bad and
the more utilities we can get to make things work, the better.

I posted this link yesterday in another thread: http://www.askvg.com/start8-download-freeware-to-get-start-button-orb-and-start-menu-back-in-windows-8/ they have a lot of good information there in addition to the plug for Start 8. 
Got some good info on how to make the right click menu in Win 7 more useful. Also, they have some good info on using Win 8.

Quoting DrJBHL, reply 6Looks like they missed the one click shut down.
Technically, three. Right for menu, then left to select, then left again on the "OK" button, but still a vast improvement.
Right clicks and selects don't count unless you work in Support.

PC mag also posted an article in their recent magazine about Windows 8 and the new Ivy Bridge processors, mentioning that Stardock has the best program out their for people who are peeved about the loss of a start button. Congrats on being awesome Stardock.
