Is start8 a fix to make Win 8 operate like old school Windows? I'm running Classic Shell on my Window 8 laptop and it seems to do the trick just fine...looks like its available for Win 10 as well.
Windows 7 is not old school...XP on back is.
MS came out with the classic shell some time after Windows 8 came out. Start8 fixed an issue that users were perceiving to be a problem. Start10 keeps that fix going.
I have to keep up with the different releases as that is what my business clients are using these days....Windows, not Mac's. Apple products, while good, make up a minuscule part of business PCs. In fact so small, that I pay no attention to them. I can count on one finger the number of my clients that use those products with the servers that I support.
I work with IBM i systems and IBM has stated that they won't support/test their long time emulator (Client Access) on that platform (W10). They have another Java based emulator that is PC agnostic that will work with most platforms out there (i, Apple, Linux).
