Dude, I'm so tired of you.
Here's the argument I am going to make for the new start menu. What was the number one thing peopled cursed about in Windows VISTA????
Answer: The cluttered and unecessary background processes that took up lots of memory. Second of course was incompatibility. But what is one way to get rid of the cluttered stuff in an OS? It is to Remove features that are no longer very popular. They have done this immensely in windows 7 and it shows immensely in the performance of the system. You know as the old saying goes "Every good thing must come to an end", and finally windows has brought the classic start menu to an end. There are two things you can do now:
Microsoft employees made it clear at PDC that they arent including the classic start menu because the also had a study done that like 85% of people like the new start menu better.
- Accept the new Start Menu and Move on to learn it. OR
- Keep complaining about a feature that microsoft made clear at PDC that "NO MATTER WHAT" They are not including in windows 7. Please move on and accept what microsoft said.

With their global market share dropping bellow 90% in last year and global recession i don't think Microsoft can afford to potentially loose up to 15% users because of a trivial thing like not including something like classic start menu.
We people are creatures of habits. When someone has used a windows feature for 10+ years not having it can potentially totally disrupt their work process. People don't care how intuitive new start menu is all they want to do is work as they did for 10 years and are used to it. And including classic start menu is the least they can so. They even included classic Win2k/XP theme in Win 7 can't see why not classic start menu.
And anyway, why does someone else using classic start menu bother YOU so much? Noone forces *you* to use it. I don't care what you do nor do i want to tell you what to do. It's your right to use the new menu, but *please* for the love of god respect my and others wish and let us work as we're used for all those years.
I use Vista atm but i'm at the verge of going back to Win XP after a year using it. I have no problems whatsoever reverting back to Win XP instead of upgrading to Win 7 next year.

The background process thing is very minimal but if you wanted to get down to the nanosecond difference there would be one. Its not noticeable though!
The smaller details I'm not even going to comment on because they are definitely small details.
- Regarding Software Explorer, you're right there. Microsoft recommends you download Autoruns, which is an outstanding program. I've used it for years. However, and this is just a guess on my part, I have a feeling Microsoft may ship the final product with Autoruns included. Is this a good idea?. Yes, for the advanced user, but for the newbie, there's a high risk of hosing the system if they make the wrong choices.
- Regarding Windows Meeting Space, I agree, that's another good point. However (Sorry, I know this However thing is getting old
) they are encouraging us to download the Live Essentials Pack which includes Messenger, Mail, Photo Gallery, Toolbar, Writer, Family Safety, Silverlight, and unchecked by default is Movie Maker Beta. I realize you can uncheck any option you like, but it's like pushing all Microsoft apps into our computer, such as like they did when they bundled IE and tied it into the operating system so tightly, you couldn't remove it. Now of course everyone nowadays needs a web browser, but on the poll page for browser of choice IE falls well below Firefox as the pick for most popular browser. - Inkball?. I'm assuming you referring to the game. Whow's to say they are not going to bring back the games. They are not working, (same as Windows Mail) but are present on Windows 7. Go to Start > Run and type optionalfeatures.exe and I think you'll be quite surprised.
- Classic Start...I accept that fact as stated above.
No by it self it doesn't, but combined with other outdated things it removes quite a bit.Yes, because classic start menu takes up so much of your precious space it's omfgunbeliavable!
If I wanted a Mac I would have bought a Mac. Gimme back my classic menu anyday! I want substance not fluff!
Security
Windows 7 has the same basic security features as Vista, which does make it more secure than most previous iterations of Windows, and I'm definitely heartened by the operating system's \"Action Center,\" which tries to make it easier for users to secure their computers. But security is still a major issue with the OS.
According to a report last year, the security company PC Tools found 639 unique threats over the first six months of 2008 for every 1,000 machines running Vista. That tally is actually better than XP, which was plagued with 1,021 issues. Ironically, Windows 2000 was safest, suffering 586 threats that penetrated the operating system's defenses.
Those are two completely different resolutions. Anything looks big at the low res of that vista pic. On a decent res it doesn't take up much space at all.Personally, I love the classic menu, it is what I use and I love it very much
Compared to this oversized piece of real estate.
