Start8 for Windows 10?

Call it Start10?

from Stardock Forums

I am testing the Windows 10 Technical Preview for Enterprise, build 9879. I installed Start8 v1.47 and am pleased to report that it works very well with Windows 10 thus far.

Windows 10 is still in development so there's no way to know what the final version of the Windows 10 Start menu will look like. In build 9879 it's a combination of the 'old' Start menu and the Start screen and looks like the dog's dinner, hence my interest in Start8.

Does Stardock plan to develop a version of Start8 for Windows 10?

I'm also running Statrt8 with Windows 10T build 9879 & find the Start8 Menu superior; I particularly like having the ability to press the CTRL key when pressing the Start Button to access Metro tiles without having to deselect the Start Menu, then log out & back in as with Windows 10T default Start Menu.

It would be useful to have an 'All Apps' button on the Start8 Menu which would list all apps & a scroll bar to enable more programs to be added.

As mentioned, the beta of Start8 is compatible with the Windows 10 preview.  It's too early to comment on future plans, but I'm sure we have some cool stuff coming for a new OS. :)
