Start8 - Bringing Back the Windows Start Menu. You have heard us talking about it over the past few days, and we are excited to finally let you get your hands on it!
The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is available and has taken the Windows interface to a whole new level.

Start8 from Stardock brings the "Start" menu back to Windows 8. Windows 8 Consumer Preview Compatibility Center: Find Updates, Drivers, & Downloads. Download Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
