    I purchased both programs and each offer the NEW Windows 8 Start flag

    1) StartIsBack

    2) Start8

    Plus, Windows 8.1 adds the option for that button to launch the all-programs screen instead of the live-tile screen.

    I believe the OP is looking for a solution (be it temporary if awaiting 8.1).

    If so, I highly recommend Pokki!
    https://www.pokki.com/windows-8-start-menu

    I use this thing and it's more intuitive and convenient than the Win 7 start button/menu IMO.
    The best part is, it's FREE.

    Let us know how you like Pokki :)
