I was bored today, looking for a project, so I decided to give Start8 a try (it got a good review in the latest MaximumPC). I figured with a free 30-day trial I was pretty safe.

They did a nice job with it. There's really no reason to complain about the Modern UI since this gives a Start button AND the benefits of Win8. Interestingly, it also forces the boot to desktop rather then the MUI. I might just end up springing for the five bucks, I'll see how it grows on me.
Desktop: Core i5 3570K w/Corsair H80 cooler - 250GB Samsung 840 SSD (boot) - 1TB Seagate Hybrid HDD (storage) - Galaxy GTX660 GC - 8GB G.Skill 1333 RAM - Antec 620W PSU - Antec Sonata III 500 case - Win8 Pro 64-bit w/WMC
Media Center: Core i3 3220 - 128GB Plextor SSD (boot) - 1TB Samsung HDD (storage) - Radeon 4350 - 8GB G.Skill 1333 RAM - Biostar ECO HD61V kit - Win7 HP 64-bit
Surface RT - Lumia 900
