I have played arrounf with windows 8 start menu's and without a shadow of a doubt the best package is
"classic shell"
This has a few options to install classic IE and Explorer. But I just went for the start menu.
Pros (over some other similar software)
rebinds windows key (makes big difference)
Stops you from opening metro interface when going into the corner.
Pages worth of customization.
Cons
Difficult to remove.
