For less than $3, I purchased a tiny start button app called StartisBack froma web site off the same name. It is bettet than the win 7 start menu, but looks identical. The best thing is, with it, I can boot automatically into desktop mode and never fool with Metro.

Win 8 with this tiny app is better than win 7, as it is faster and seeems to behave better. Never thought I would ever say that. Best 3 bucks I have ever spent.

My win8 boots to desktop without add ons.

Don’t remember what I did to make it happen, but it’s been possible from day 1.

You should have gone with ClassicShell. Does the same thing (skips Metro, Win7-style default setup), and is free.
