How is start 10 different than start 8?

July 3, 2015 4:40:48 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Why does this need to be a completely new app?

Because the Windows 10 start menu is very different, presumably. Or because "Start8" is a lame name for a Windows 10 app.

Cruxador, they can rebrand it no problem but they are rebuilding it.  Why? is the question.

And why do we have to pay $5 again if we already have Start8?

To say thanks for improving Windows yet again!

$5? I`ve lost more running for a bus.

I'm also curious about the differences.  What changes (other than the app name) have been made between Start8 and Start10.  I'm running Start8 on Windows 10 now and haven't run into anything obviously broken.  I don't have a problem upgrading, but I'd like the developers to at least enumerate the differences.

I found this reply from Neil shortly after I posted.  Sounds like I haven't seen the subtle bugs in Start8 that are fixed in 10.  There's also a few new minor features.

I hope Start10 can change the color of the task bar to any color you like, like it can with the Start Menu. Since Windows 10 limits you to 49 different colors. The 0.57 Beta it can only change the Start Menu color.

tl;dr: Bottom line, bug fixes to Start8 for Win10, and a new brand name.
