You can get the classic menu back with classic shell. But honestly, it's not really necessary.

And that's totally wrong Cumred, windows 8 is the same os, it's just that they made major changes to the ui for touchscreens but they don't work out quite as well on a fully mouse driven computer. At least not with the default settings. As a keyboard freak, I don't like any windows version anyway because it has horrible keyboard shortcuts (that is, not enough to be usable without a mouse).

Ooh I think I remember trying that in a VM before and it was pretty cool :D

If someone ever makes a Walrii OS it should have Walrii speak at the beginning like in my videos :P

You can bring back the old taskbar on newer versions. And 8/8.1 actually looks cleaner. :P
I'm actually digging some changes they made since 7 (and no I'm not worshiping ms anytime soon, I have windows solely for the purpose of gaming. :P
8 might be cleaner, but I can't stand the layout >.<
Also, you can set up a similar taskbar on 7, but not the same exact thing

I personally would like to dual-boot with a Windows 7 (or eventually 10) and Linux install (preferably something more user-friendly for long-time Windows users like Mint or Ubuntu) so that I can still game on the same computer where I develop stuff or do things I can't do on Windows, but the problem is that over the last decade, I heard too many horror stories about dual-booting attempts, including recently with Streetwalrus and this makes me relunctant about even trying it, especially that most people with who it happened were experienced Linux/computer users. I don't want Linux to eat my Windows install or vice-versa.

My other solution was that when I would get a new computer, I would format the old one then load Linux on it, but everytime I get a new computer the old computer starts failing and I don't feel like getting it repaired, since it would cost more than a brand new computer >.<
