Just want to share with any win 8 users who might be still yearning for an old-fashioned Start button and start menu.

*** The program is Free

If people want it, why not? Heck, I'm using it.

Hey davidhk129, just so you know, it's not free. It's a 30 day trial and then cost $4.99.

That's what I thought.

Classic Shell 3.9.1 Beta for Win 8.1 is now ready for download.

I don't know what I did.
I gave the wrong link.
You are right. That one is NOT free, and I did not use it.

I meant to suggest this one which I do use ... Start Menu 8 by IObit

LOL...it happens

It's not free... I use the Start Menu 8 in my win 8, It's free!

Haha my question is will MS approve any of these start menus on their winstore?

The variety of third party start menus are, as far as I know, all "non" Apps, and, by their nature, will remain so. I don't see he App store being an issue as they have no affiliation there.

Um... people can add desktop apps on the winstore.

No dispute here. I was responding to your post. As I said, why worry? They can be all downloaded direct from the web.
FWIW. They are mostly already in the store. There isn't a great deal of supervision as to what can be there, so I guess they will remain.
