I think Classic Shell is better. I had it on Win 7 public beta when Classic Shell was brand new and loved it. It has evolved a great deal since then (but I was only able to use it during the public beta of Win 7 on a virtual machine). I still use XP Pro and hope to avoid Windows 8 but that will depend on when I can buy the machine I am waiting for Dell to fix and on how long OEMs are allowed to continue offering computers with Windows 7.

Classic Shell is officially supported as of August 18 for Windows 8 RTM.

It is such a shame that we have to resort to things like this just because we prefer desktops. Microsoft has lost it. There is no reason why Microsoft has to have a cell phone/tablet version of Windows forced on desktop users. Not only do I want the Start button but I want Classic Windows and buttons and it shocks me that Microsoft is trying to deny that to those of us who want it.

I just read the title of this posting

and for a moment I figured that a certain 1970s trio of comedians had been held hostage in Redmond.
