In preparation for the Windows 8 launch, Stardock has released a near-final version of its highly anticipated Start8 utility.
Start8 is a program that adds the Start button back to the Windows 8 desktop as well as provides a fully function post-Windows 7 style Start menu.

What’s New:

• Windows 7 style Start menu with Windows 8 enhancements
  
  • Users can search for Windows 8-style (Metro) apps with it
    
  • Users can pin Metro apps to it
    
  • Full support for Jump Lists
    
  • Unified Search
    
  • Automatically matches color to the color of the taskbar
• Start button is now skinnable
  
• Users can boot directly to the Windows 8 desktop
  
• Optionally disable the desktop “hot spots”.
  
• Fast access to shut down, devices, music, documents, videos
  
• Supports WindowFX 5.1 startmenu animations (currently in beta)
  
• The Windows 8 Start screen becomes accessible from the Start menu
  
• Start menu size fully configurable
  
• Adds option for WinKey to show fullscreen Metro desktop.

I'm using Vistart 2.0 as my classic shell, but it is quite primitive, as long as you cant right click the itens in the list. I hope that Start8 resolves such problems.
