I tried searching this forum first, but results useless.

Going to try 8.1 (again) and looking at Start8 instead of Classic Shell. Wondering if any satisfied or not, in here??

Tried both. Personally like Classic Shell better, been using it for almost a year now.

Love my orb.

Dog lover here, wish I could rescue all of them. Have three, try to give them a good life. :)

My Freckles is 2nd rescue. She and I live in my 18 wheeler. Previous rescue had 1.5 million miles on him before I had to put him down, sniff. My Amazon Smile is set to donate to American Humane Society

Start8 costs $5, so I use classic shell. I think it runs better as it is a more simple program.

I prefer start8 and I have paid for three copies. But I use classic shell at work on all of the other Windows 8.x machines.
