"Angles Sing"
Version: Classic Shell 3.6.5
Pros
This is the most incredible solution. Thank you for providing an Ad-free workaround the the atrocious GUI that come standard with Win8.
YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO LOOK AT TILES AGAIN!Cons
It didn't come pre-packaged with Win8.
Also, it doesn't make you pancakes.Summary
Save yourself the trouble of re-learning the "Tile" system and get this instead.

A pox on Microsoft and the abomination that is windows 8

"Nice. A life saver."
Version: Classic Shell 3.6.5
Pros
Great functionality. Customizable. And intuitive. No instructions necessary.
Cons
None so far.
Summary
Just download, install and change the settings to taste. And BAM you've fixed one (of many) probs with Win 8. A life saver and really, the only way I'm going to keep Windows 8 on my computer. I hate the Start Menu and tiles.

"awesome software"
Version: Classic Shell 3.6.5
Pros
Let's you bypass metro competely. Gives you a start menu feel of '98, win XP, or win 7. Your choice. gives you a choice to the menu start button.
Cons
don't see any cons
Summary
This is THE BEST utility software for windows 8!
-
"Very practical!"
Version: Classic Shell 3.6.5
Pros
Quick, easy, smooth and free.
Cons
None. It's near perfect as it is!
Summary
1) Saves time when I need a program I can't remember by name, but I know is there somewhere... Also, it's unobstrusive and familiar.
2) The Start Screen has a lot of tiles I simply won't or don't need to use, and, to say the least, wastes too much room for some hundreds of games I've.
3) Lotta options make it even better. I really like to hide the "Logoff" option so users have to restart (boot) system; hot-swapping users never worked for me. Also, my full name doesn't need to be in the logoff button, making the menu pannel too wide.
4) I just miss TrueTransparency and WinFlip over Windows XP. Maybe they could add something like Mac's First Row ? -
"Classic shell is an answer for Windows 8"
Version: Classic Shell 3.6.5
Pros
Provides a classic and even more flexible start button with a lot of options and settings.
Cons
None, not yet found.
Summary
I know that Metro UI is great for touching but the way Microsoft forces me to use the Metro Start Screen is unfriendly. I was hoping that Microsoft would change their mind to bring back Start menu but now I don't need anymore. Classic Shell brings the things we're familiar with and up to now, I'm totally satisfied.
