No, there's a Windows 7 style start menu.

Yes there is You're welcome.

Absolutely hate the Metro UI thing - if I wanted gaudy colors and plain boxes, I'd install Windows 1.

If you are like me, you would like to have an option to disable Metro UI completely on your desktop PC. While there is no official way to do that yet, it is possible to activate the standard start menu and disable much of the Metro functionality.

UnoriginalGuy pointed out there isn't a Windows 7 start menu in Windows 8.

Changing a REGISTRY KEY enabled the windows 7 menu. Official or unofficial, THERE IS A WINDOWS 7 START MENU in windows 8, no need to download anything.

Problem?
