I love this idea. The reason people continue using Windows is because they're used to it. Messing with the Start button is going to piss off even the most patient users. Not to mention it'll be an absolute nightmare for any IT department. Just imagine an army of Karens calling your hotline first thing on Monday morning, yelling at you because you took away the Start button. It'll make Windows 8 look like a huge success.

I feel like things like Classic Shell (or whatever the go-to alternative is nowadays) are just going to make bank from enterprise customers suddenly wanting to make their desktops usable for the average user.

Doubtful. It's hard enough to get programs past our security team and having half malware bundled programs like this won't be an easy task.

Lol, what? There is no malware in classic shell, or start11 or explorer patcher. Wtf are you talking about?

Tell that to dumbass IT "managers" that think a process monitor is a hacking tool.
