Enable Start Button in Windows 8
We know Windows 8 is missing the Start button and Microsoft blew it big time. But small developers are taking advantage of this opportunity by building their little add-ons.
Do you want the Start button back in Windows 8?
Well, there are alternatives. One of the alternatives I am using is Power8. Download Power8.
I downloaded Power8 and it seems to be working just fine. The UI does not look as Metro as you would expect in Windows 8 but it does the trick. At least for me.
The .MSI is a small file that takes only a few seconds. There is no need to start it or anything. The Start button pops right in as soon as the installer is finished.
The UI looks like this:

To run a program, you will have to double-click on it. Single-click does not work.

It looks like Windows 8 unpinned Power8 icon from my Taskbar after a few days.
