Stardock’s Launch8 is a program that should, imo, have been part of Windows 8 in the first place. On every other mobile device you have some sort of persistent quick launch bar that makes it easy to get to the things you use all the time.
Not only does Launch8 had this persistent, easy to use launcher to the bottom of the Windows 8 Start screen, it integrates the usability features first introduced into Windows 7 such as Jump-lists (Which should matter more than ever on a touch device!).
Launch8, like Start8, ModernMix, Decor8, WindowBlinds, Fences, etc. are all part of Stardock’s premiere desktop enhancement suite, Object Desktop.
