But you can install several third party software's that will bring back both the start orb and Windows XP,Classic Windows 98 or Windows 7 start menu. The most well known software is Classic Shell which puts both the start orb and the Windows XP start menu into Windows 8.The latest version has been updated recently to work on Windows 8. As well as the Windows XP start menu,Classic Shell gives you the choice of other start menus,the Classic start menu or the Windows Vista or Windows 7 start menu.
