One thing you will notice in Windows 8 Consumer Preview is that now the start button is completely gone from the Desktop. If you're an old fashioned guy that can’t live without the start button, you are lucky because StarDock has something that might interest you. Yesterday StarDock announced a new interesting application called Start8. This application designed to emulate start button on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Well, it is not exactly the same as your good old start button, but good enough as replacement. Visit StarDock website at http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ to give it a try.
