Do you miss the Start Menu?

Do you miss the start menu in Windows 8?

I haven't missed it at all.

EDIT: BTW.. Please share your experience when not using a start menu replacement app. I also use a paid app, but I noticed that I hardly use it

i have installed classic start menu at the very beginning, so i don't miss it at all.

EDIT: i configured classic start menu as absolutely identical to xp start menu and forgot that there is officially no start menu in 8. don't even remember when i last saw that whatever called blue screen of shortcuts.

I don't at all use the Start menu on Windows 7 except to shut down. So I guess I wouldn't miss if ever I used 8.

a guy using windows since windows95 will definitely miss the start menu, the one's who won't have'nt used windows properly, or either are very good in adapting..

I feel it comfortable like this.. the start screen gives lot more options than the start menu navigation..

Not a search box specifically, buy while on start you can type the app/setting you want to search, results are divided into apps/settings/files.. you wont actually feel the need of start menu.

Nope. Not at all. The Start screen is much better.

There should be a start button and its rightly back.

rightly back?? where did they say start menu is coming back?? they only said there is a start button.. essentially, it might take you to the start screen

Does these classic shell run in background or something or just modifies the explorer to enable a start menu?

one can create a start menu folder in the taskbar and wont miss the start menu at all, also there are apps from stardock which can create it in windows 8

Windows 8 start menu returns with Start8 from Stardock!
