Most likely, it'll just be like UXtheme patching years ago. Remember how that always broke with updates?

Wrong, it's just a hook to some functions already present in Explorer, no files are altered Tihiy gave a detailed explanation of how it works on MSFN which I'd suggest reading before jumping to assumptions.

Can you test if it hides back if you switch to Metro and back to desktop?

Yes, I can confirm that. But on dual monitors setup, the secondary monitor still show it (which I think is not a big deal, it's actually useful =D)

If you need a 3rd party app to add functionality; it can't be called the "native" start menu.

Other than that, good work on recreating the start menu for people that need it!

from what i understand it he calls it 'native' because it's using code from windows that was thought to have been removed but only hidden

I don't get it. Instead of adding all this third party crap, why not try and get used to what is already there?

I prefer to call it "improve user experience" because the default one it's not enough

Because what's there sucks for some people, myself included. I won't be using 8, but if forced the first thing I'd look for is a start menu replacement, and a way to disable metro.
