StartIsBack $3 for 1 License, $5 for 5 License

[TheLizardMan]

StartIsBack is a utility that adds the Windows 7 start menu back to Windows 8.

Using something like StartIsBack or Start8 is critical IMO.

They offer a 30 day trial, after the 30 days you have the option to purchase a license.

Not sure if they will adopt the Minecraft philosophy and increase the price based on popularity.

Devs seem very open to suggestions and criticism.

New Start menu Windows 7 + Windows 8 Start menu Skin Even more customization!

ViStart now includes a brand new Start menu Windows 7 skin + more skins like the Windows 8 start menu Metro skin in the online gallery. Times are changing and ViStart is changing with them! When reprogramming ViStart I made a crucial decision, instead of just making a new layout like Windows 7 for ViStart I decided to make even that customizable by themers too. Themers now have complete control of the start menu giving them the power to customize all elements within ViStart, meaning there should be even more diverse start menu skins deveing developed in the community!
