last week i came across a website that offered a w8 add-on which was very similar to stardock's modernmix, at the same price, the type of add-on that allowed you to open modern apps in a window. i thought i had bookmarked the site but i didn't, and now for the life of me i can't find it, even tho i consider myself a pretty capable googler.
what i do remember is that it was a very professional looking site, wasn't an open source application, and when you loaded their homepage a video of their product was centered at the top of the page. i also remember that their product, along with allowing you to open modern apps in a window, also extended the desktop taskbar to the modern gui (start menu), i.e. when you were in the modern gui the desktop taskbar was visible and operable. however i don't recall if they also offered a start menu add-on as well.
anyway, i really wanted to take a closer look at this product, so any help tracking it down would be greatly appreciated. if i remember correctly i think i found the website by following a forum link to it, not sure which forum, or a link found in the discussion section of website article, not sure which article. also, it wasn't one of these well know add-ons (retrogui, stardock, classic menu, pokki, etc.):
