Hi,

This is a great app. I was a bit weary at first as I wanted a "nearly-classic" Windows 7-type Start Menu at first. I tried a few Windows 7-looking ones out there and they were crap; buggy and lacking in basic features. I think once you get used to the Start8 system, it'll be just as good, if not better!

My main concern is the inability to launch the Run dialog as an elevated task, so that programs executed from it will too be elevated. This was a feature in Windows 7 when UAC was switched off (UAC can go to hell, I never leave it switched on). I also noticed that ViStart (although it's full of bugs and will add to peoples' pain rather than boost convenience) has the "Run..." button elevating the process like in Windows 7.

Can we have this little feature come to Start8 (I'm talking about when you right-click the orb and hit the "Run..." option)? Using the Search inside the Start Menu, just as you would in Vista and 7, is all well and good, but the Run dialog has its advantages, too. Best of both worlds to have the two, and even better if the latter is elevated.

Thanks,

D
