We saw Windows 8 Consumer Preview surpassing One million downloads in 24 hours after it was released public and many of them are so excited to try it out and install.Some of you already have installed it on your PC like me.I love Windows 8 CP as it’s superfast compared to the Developer Preview and it’s sleek but I this Metro touch interface would be much better on tablets rather than on desltops and laptops.One thing I miss is the Windows Start Button or the Orb.If you are one of them like me then have no fear, a developer by the name of Lee Matthew Chantrey has provided the solution – a small, effective little application named ViStart, which was initially created to allow Windows XP users to enjoy a Windows Vista/7 style Start Menu.
This app itself is a very small(492KB) and a simple tool – just install, and your Start Button (or Orb) makes a dramatic, heroic return.But there is one tiny winy problem here.The trouble is, this new button overlaps with the Taskbar, you will have to put an extra shift in to get things to make it look completely smooth. To solve this problem, what you need to do is simply create a new blank toolbar on the Taskbar, which will in turn shift the other icons across to the right– giving you uniformed finish.
Well that’s the workaround if you desperately need the Start button on your Windows 8 Consumer Preview.So if you haven’t downloaded Windows 8 Consumer Preview yet then what are you waiting for go ahead and download it.
Thanks RedmondPie
