Mad (=Good) props to Stardock. Keep up the good works
Love those good reviews.
Great news!
a european modder page is also giving start8 and fences a big shout out ( deskmodder.de )
Start8 should be a really big thing. It's a great idea at the perfect time. Congrats!
The only thing I don't get is the price. $4.99? Are you kidding, who could pass that up?
You can't even get a decent hamburger for that price any more.
$5 for a start button that should have shipped with Windows 8. Maybe.
$10? No way.
Hence why we went with $5 for Start8.
