What I can't figure out is why Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to completely ditch the Start Menu interface in favour of that stupid Metro one. Within days of getting my new laptop last year I downloaded 3rd party program to give me back my menu. I think the program was under 5 MB ... so its not like Microsoft freed a ton of space by not including a traditional menu with Win8 alongside their new one.
8.1 brought the start menu option back as well as ability to use desktop instead of the "tiles". So maybe an update if you still have 8 would help.
