Then MS decided that the start menu system that had worked well for
all that time was no longer good enough so they foisted the new
all-singing, all-dancing start menu on us in Vista and Win 7, which
meant we all had to waste time working out how the new system er....
worked. I did that for a couple of days before I went Googling and
found 'Classic Shell', which gave me back my boring as bat shit
interface. Bliss!
I hear Windows 8 is changing the start menu yet again, which suggests
that the Vista/Windows7 interface wasn't as good as MS thought it was.
But I already knew that.
I have Vista on my laptop and as much as possible I've told it to
configure as "Classic" so it looks as much like XP as I can get it to.
That works on Vista but MS removed that option on Win 7.
I'm not sure it works all that well on Vista, but I've done what I could.
Your post also prompted me to Google for alternative shells/GUIs for
Windows 7. Didn't find anything really promising. Back in Windoze95
days, I had an OS/2 shell that made it look/feel (almost) like Warp.
