Almost all of us are aware of new Start Screen which is a new addition to Microsoft's upcoming OS "Windows 8". Start Screen in Windows 8 looks quite similar to Windows Phone 7's home screen. It shows live tiles of the installed programs in Windows 8.
Today we are going to share a new Windows 8 Start Screen clone for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 users.
"Windows 8 Start Screen Full" is a free software for Windows created by "dncube" @ DA which tries to mimic Windows 8 Start Screen. It shows almost same screen with live tiles on your Desktop.
You can drag the screen to left or right to scroll between tiles. You can change the user name shown at the right-top corner of the screen by clicking on it.
It comes with many built-in tiles. Some of them are as following:
- Socialite Tile for Facebook
- Tweet@rama for Twitter
- News Tile
- Weather Tile
- Gmail Tile
- Piano
- Various Shortcut tiles which can be configured
- Angry Birds Game
- Fruit Ninja Game
- Many more
It also comes with a Windows 8 look like lock screen and Control Panel application.
It consumes very less CPU resources and can be installed in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows editions.
You can download it using following link:

It seems the software has been removed by the developer. You can check other similar software such as Omnimo, Pulmon, Mosaic and Win8Menu.
