Haha! Ok, if we are posting Start Menus...
(edit)Someone mentioned, the Size of this menu, with Stardock's Start 8 you can adjust the size of it, to accommodate what you want in the right pane. I've got mine larger than normal.
This is what I see when my system boots up, Start 8 makes it go straight to the desktop. Thinix RetroUI also does it, and it also disables the Metro completely. There are several Start Menu addons, I chose Stardock;s due to their experience in desktop mods, which I usually don't use, because they slow me up.
And I hated even this Start Menu when it was introduced in Windows 7, in Vista you had the choice of an XP-Style Start menu that expanded out. I didn't like having to squint to find my programs in Windows 7. But given that choice and the choice of not having any mods at all, with no Orb at all on the start menu, I chose this mod.
Someone has it in their Signature, Windows 8 is a choice, and I'm glad that there are choices as to how we want to run it. From XP to 7, it's all been about choice, transformation packs, Themes, Mods abounded. The stark Tiles interface removes that except for choosing the colour of the background and the position of the tiles.
There is even a Mod that makes your desktop look like an LCARS station from Trek, these work great for Touchscreen systems it's called LCARSx32. And this was out many years before Windows 8 was even a thought in a think tank.
