    View Poll Results: What Start menu do you prefer?


    I thought it would be interesting to know what people prefer (Desktop users, not tablet):


    • Native Windows 10 Start menu
    • Classic Shell
    • Start 10 (by Stardock)
    • Native Start screen
    • Any other solution (post

    Please keep in mind that this poll is for Windows 10, not for any of it's predecessors.

    I personally reverted to Classic shell. I like beeing able to customize it. The native Start menu is simply not flexible enough for me.

    :)

    so karim, will we see Nokia act on the results or was the poll just posted for a bit of fun to gauge everyones view on this subject?

    i mentioned earlier that Series 60 version 3, feature release 1 has the ability to have the F/W updated by the user so will we see this option included in future handsets? even if only a small number of people wanted to do this by themselves, it would still
    save nokia time and money?

    Hi Rich!

    This poll isnt just a bit of fun, I was hoping to stimulate a bit of discussion on the subject. The results from the poll are interesting, it is not the landslide that many people who visit here were expecting. With on %59 of people actively seeking firmware
    updates this still leaves a large group of owners who would require some assistance on updating their firmware, with two days to go the results could change either way. And again, this only gauges the opinion of people who visit these discussion boards - there
    will be many many Nokia owners who have not read this post.

    But, this poll isnt the official Nokia standpoint of firmware installation. The poll and this thread are what you, the users think and feel.

    Carry on and make posts here to discuss this, and feel free to make a vote. The poll will close on Friday afternoon. I will collate the results and put them in this thread for further discussion.

    Cheers

    Ah yes, I forgot to do that on Friday afternoon, here are the results on the close of the poll:

    No! - I wouldnt be interested (0%)

    Yes! - I think this would be a great idea! (58%)

    I would prefer an engineer to do it (24%)

    It would be good, but I would need help doing it (19%)

    Total Votes: 156

    On the thought of another poll, I think its a bit early to start another one right now, but if anyone has any suggestions for polls just let me know.

    Cheers

    In Win10 I like the stock start menu but in WIn8.1/WIn8 I liked Classic Shell.

    The native Start menu in 10 works fine for me.

    W10 Menu in any of it's forms is fine but I'd still like to see the option to Pin to the Start LIST.

    With all the options now on the right click of the Start Button and all my programs on the task bar, I no longer have need of the start menu.

    So, if I had to choose I'd stick with what the OS put there.

    What I like about Classic Shell is the fact that you lose nothing by installing it. There is still a button that brings up the native Start menu. Plus you can make Windows bring up the native Start menu by clicking the Start button while holding down shift on your keyboard (for example).

    I can't say that it's a major issue for me; apps that are used multiple times per session are on taskbar and context menu covers a lot.

    But the fact that I can have 30 icons in about the same space that a classic menu holds 5, plus the superior caching/response, makes native Win 10 Start a no-brainer.

    I never missed the Start menu when it was removed from Win 8 and don't really like the Start menu in Win 10. I prefer no Start menu.

    I don't really care as long as it doesn't require a touch screen.

    Classic Shell. I tried the Windows 10 start menu but I just hate the way Windows does tiles. The worst UI ever which is why I never got a Windows Phone.
