Start 8
Monday, October 20, 2014 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
OK, so I have been playing with Windows 8 and 8.1 for the last few weeks. I got a bit feed up with the Metro UI so I installed Classic Shell. Got confused about all of the options so I installed Start 8. Easy to use, it does what I need. Looking to buy Start 8 here soon. So my question is what is Metro for when I use Start 8? Just a watse of hard drive space and coding?
Oh, Starkers - Windows 8 is not faster under the hood than 7 in my experience so far. Painfully slow.

So I bought Start8. Thanks for making it!
Now that all Stardock software is on sale I'd reconsider buying something more. Which is the best way to get multiple desktops on Windows 8 with SD software?
I'm particularly interested in one feature - I'd like to change between sets of open windows. I'd also be nice to be able to drag windows between sets (ie. desktops). Also: the more lightweight the better.

What does the maker gain? How do they spend time and effort on a software, and give updates, support, etc. for free?
The difference between Priceless and Worthless far exceeds my ability to define it.
